Just saw this, going to be a fun division.

Damn, that makes the Phillies quite a bit better and the division a little tougher.

11 years, $300 mil, no trade.

Phillies are going to hit

11 and 300, and he's a year younger than Judge. I'd be squeamish on the years, but the AAV is reasonable (he was worth more than Verlander last season). It will be interesting to see if it's frontloaded.

Seems like this has been a done deal for a while and they wee waiting or the meetings to announce it. Pfuckin' Phills. Later

Phils seemed to be high on rookie Bryson Stott -- 2019 1st round (14th overall) draft pick out of UNLV -- who played SS much of the 2nd half for them this past season. But I guess not high enough and Stott is likely to never be as good as Turner. But 11 years for a guy turning 30 in mid-season 2023, so turning 41 during final contract year ... has no one there heard of Albert Pujols? Gives them a helluva lineup for now though and maybe they'll transition Stott to 2B as Jean Segura is a FA

So between Harper and Turner, they have two $300 million+ contracts? Wow.

Yeah, this doesn't shake me. Phils are stocking up on players who made their names with clubs from within their division. It gives everyone a reason to play hard and root hard against them. Here's hoping they deal Stott to Toronto, despite his Germanic name, and he gets 3,000 hits.
