Turner joins a Philadelphia team that made it to the World Series this year before losing to the Houston Astros. The Phillies targeted Turner as the perfect complement to a lineup that already includes his former Washington Nationals teammate Bryce Harper, All-Star catcher J.T.

He’s a really good player, and I think the Philly fans are really going to enjoy watching him play every day.
