had an offer on the table for Turner for $342 million overall. That number is notable, since Francisco Lindor is currently the highest paid shortstop ever at $341 million with the Mets.
San Diego originally drafted Turner in the first round of the 2014 draft, but traded him that offseason to the Nationals in a three-team deal. Padres general manager A.J. Preller was hired a few months after Turner was drafted, but he did make the trade in the winter.
