Is there still a chance for the Dodgers to re-sign star shortstop Trea Turner?
The Phillies and the Dodgers Could Compete for Trea Turner
It is evident that the Dodgers will do everything potential to re-sign shortstop Trea Turner, but the Dodgers’ massive payroll leaves the door open for Turner to find a new team.
Even through his huge win totals, MILB Insiders believe Turner can make it to the Phillies.
“First off, the Phillies, for a variety of reasons a lot of people here believe the Phillies are perhaps the most likely landing spot of all for Trea Turner. Let’s begin with his close friendship with Bryce Harper, going back to their time with the Nationals. That is one element here, where Trea would love to play with Bryce again.”

The MLB Network isn’t the only one making up stories about Turner joining the Phillies (via David Grzybowski).
“There’s some interesting rumblings that he wants to be here,” Jayson Stark of The Athletic said of Turner during an appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic.

Turner will undoubtedly bring the championship-level talent the organization seeks to whichever team he eventually joins.
Dodgers’ fans will go to any length to bring Turner back, but with such large sums on the table, it’s difficult to imagine Turner turning down such life-changing money.
