The Philadelphia Phillies have landed a coveted star shortstop. The Phillies and two-time All-Star Trea Turner have agreed to an 11-year contract worth $300 million, reports ESPN<\/a>. The team has not yet confirmed the signing. The contract includes a full no-trade clause and no opt-out clauses. <\/p>\n

Signing with the defending National League champs reunites Turner with Bryce Harper, his teammate with the Washington Nationals from 2015-18. Harper even said “Turner is my favorite player in the league, it’s not even close,” this past August. Chances are Harper lobbied Philadelphia’s front office on Turner’s behalf these last few weeks. Turner also played with Kyle Schwarber with the Nationals in 2021 before they were both traded at the deadline.<\/p>\n

The 11-year term comes with a $27.3 million average annual value and that is important because the competitive balance tax (CBT) payroll is calculated using average annual value. Turner likely could have secured $30-plus-million per year on a shorter term contract, but stretching it out over 11 years gives the Phillies more breathing room with regard to the CBT in the immediate future. <\/p>\n
