For a second consecutive offseason, the MLB free agent class features yet another group of star shortstops. The Phillies, who have a vacancy in the middle infield with Jean Segura’s contract expiring, are likely to be players in this market.
We’ll have a better idea on what the Phillies’ top priorities are when Dave Dombrowski addresses the media in Philadelphia at some point in the next few days, but rumors are already swirling around the Phillies and former Nationals and Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner.
It’s been reported multiple times that Turner, 29, prefers to return to the east coast and play closer to his home in Florida.
