Source: Phillies, SS Trea Turner reach 11-year, $300M deal
SAN DIEGO -- The Philadelphia Phillies, reigning National League champions, have agreed to terms on a massive contract with star free agent shortstop Trea Turner, a source told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Monday, the first full day of Major League Baseball's winter meetings. Turner, a CAA client, attained an 11-year, $300 million contract, a source told ESPN's Kiley McDaniel.
The Phillies were long rumored to be a prime suitor for Turner, at least in part because of Bryce Harper's relationship with him dating back to their days together on the Washington Nationals. An opening was created early in the offseason, when the Phillies declined their $17 million option on second baseman Jean Segura.
