I understand why these owners give these guys these long deals but damn, can they have not done an 8 year deal instead and sacrificed a couple of million on the AAV? Trea gonna being paid when he's 40, lol.  Anyways, I'm damn glad to have him and hopefully they can now set their sights on a solid #3/ #4 pitcher. 

11 years is insane

I agree with 2 more BP arms. As for a starter, I have a feeling Painter will be up before the season is over so not overly concerned there. 

Problem is nola is a FA at year’s end. And wheeler is about to be 33. Painter while i think becomes an ace you could use one if nola leaves or wheeler begins to decline. I’d love to get rodon cause he’s a lefty and allows you to split nola and wheeler up with a lefty. 

frankly i think they go taillon and at the deadline might make a bigger move

Awesome! Now get some pitching and sign that guy from Japan.

 

 

11 yrs. $300 million for Turner. Wow. Great signing by the Phillies. They still need to address pitching.

WOW awesome signing!

I know nothing about Baseball, but if a player signs for $300 million, he must be good, right???

JT Realmuto won 1st Team All MLB

Schwarber and Nola were 2nd Team

Turner was 1st Team, as well

From what I've been reading his priority was to be on the east coast. His wife's family is from Jersey and he has family in Orlando. It'll be interesting to see how much of a difference between the 2 teams there was.

He wanted a team that had Spring Training in Florida

 

The Padres offered Turner a monster deal, he would have been the highest paid SS in the league. But he still chose Philadelphia!
