Trea Turner has won a World Series in Washington and played for some great teams with the Dodgers. Now he's ready to settle down with the Philadelphia Phillies.
The past few years have been a bit of a whirlwind for Trea Turner. They included a World Series title in Washington, a trade to Los Angeles — and then an 11-year, $300 million contract that brought him back to the NL East.
"I've been on some really, really good teams with some great players — last year being one of them," Turner said Sunday. "That's kind of the beauty and the difficult thing about baseball. The best teams don't always win. Just because we got a lot of talent in here and a lot of good guys, and they made it to the World Series last year, doesn't mean it's going to happen again. You've got to put in the work.
It also gave Turner some stability. Washington declined quickly after winning the World Series in 2019. The Nationals eventually dealt both Turner and Max Scherzer to the Dodgers two seasons later. That put Turner right back in the postseason for a couple years. "That's something that me, my wife and my family wanted, was just, not have to rent anymore, not have to move around, not have to worry about getting traded," he said. "A lot of guys, probably overwhelming majority, don't get to choose where they get to play for their career. Luckily enough, I was in a situation where I could pick. I'm stuck here, and nobody can tell me otherwise, so I think I'm really happy about that, that security.
