When the Phillies signed Trea Turner to an 11-year, $300 million contract in the winter, it was one of the biggest moves of the offseason. At the time, the defending National League champions added a top shortstop on the second-biggest deal of the winter.
However, Turner hasn’t lived up to his contract to begin his Phillies career. Through 46 games, the shortstop has totaled a .693 OPS, which would be his lowest since his rookie season, with just four home runs and six stolen bases.
Turner understands how poorly he’s played, and had a very blunt response when asked about his struggles.
