All-Star shortstop agrees to 11-year, $300 million contract, thwarting Padres' hopes of adding player they traded in 2014
The Phillies ended the Padres’ season in October. On Monday, the National League champions inflicted a fresh wound.
The 29-year-old Turner signing for what is ostensibly the rest of his career was the latest twist in the Padres’ history with Turner, whom they drafted 13overall in 2014. Two months later, Preller was hired as general manager. In December, Turner was part of a three-team trade that brought Wil Myers to San Diego.
Turner and his wife, both of whom are from Florida, were said all along to have preferred the East Coast as a landing spot. “We have some creative conversations in the room as to where guys are going to play. But I think we’ve tried to, as we build our roster over the last four or five years guys that can do multiple things. … When you have athletes that can play different positions, it at least opens you up to different possibilities and conversations.”The Padres’ biggest need is arguably someone who can play first base.
