We asked you: Was the Trea Turner deal the right move for the Phillies? Why or why not? Among your responses:
Most of the pluses and minuses are obvious so I won’t dwell; this is just a quick word or two on the money. My preference was [Xander] Bogaerts, but mainly because I thought Turner would cost ~$35M AAV and Bogaerts would be just as good and be had for less, maybe under $30M. Getting Turner for $27M is a true coup. That’s a plus that may go overlooked. The minus is the contract length; just as [Bryce] Harper won’t be worth $23M in the last years of his contract, Turner won’t be worth $23M then.
Did I just say Dynasty, wait a minute aren’t Dynasties in baseball built with free-agent pitching? Well Oakland had Reggie Jackson, then the Yankees got Reggie, Cincinnati had Pete Rose, the Phillies get Charlie and they recorded the first WS win in Philadelphia bb history. That’s a horseshoes Dynasty.
