Dodgers News: Corey Seager Talks Shortstop Dynamic With Trea Turner Trade

When the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired future Hall-of-Famer Max Scherzer from the Washington Nationals at the trade deadline, they also added All-Star shortstop Trea Turner despite having the 2020 World Series MVP Corey Seager at the position.

Turner is considered one of the three best shortstops in baseball, and arguably the second-best behind Fernando Tatis Jr. This season he is hitting .322/.369/.521 with a 127 wRC+ and 4.2 WAR. He is also on pace for a 30-30 season with 18 home runs and 21 stolen bases.

Unlike Seager, Turner is due to remain with the Dodgers for at least one more season before potentially becoming a free agent.
