Daily News | Bryce Harper’s comments are just one reason to think the Phillies will go big in free agency
The offseason was less than an hour old when the annual lobbying campaign began. Somebody asked Bryce Harper if he wanted to send a message to the fans about the Phillies’ determination to repeat as National League champs. Instead, he responded with a message that seemed intended for his bosses.
There’s no reason to think the 2022 offseason will play out any differently. With Major League Baseball’s free-agent signing period officially underway, there already are plenty of signs that Dombrowski and Middleton will be looking toward the top of the market. Their decision to turn down the club option on veteran second baseman Jean Segura’s contract created a conspicuous hole in the middle of the infield at the same time four superstar shortstops were set to hit free agency.
“We have complete flexibility to do whatever we like,” the Phillies president told reporters at MLB’s annual general managers’ meetings, according to MLB.com “So that’s how I would answer that question. We’ll just see what happens. Not that Turner needs Harper’s endorsement. Over the last four seasons, the righty has established himself as one of the best two-way players in the game. Since 2019, he is hitting .311 with a .361 on base percentage, .509 slugging percentage and an average of 26 home runs per 162 games. While Turner’s production dipped a bit in 2022, he still finished the season hitting .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs.The biggest question might be whether Turner is even the Phillies’ best option.
