Nats chose to sell them before they chose other teams. Turner was stunned when he was traded.
He was given a contract offer. He could have stayed here.

Not a serious one.

"One of those offers was in the neighborhood of six years and $100 million, according to multiple people with knowledge of past discussions. But after the New York Mets signed shortstop Francisco Lindor for 10 years and $341 million in the spring of 2021, Turner’s agents wanted a similar deal for their client."

Turner signed for 11 years at $300 million. That was probably fair market value, or $27 million a year. Too high, when all of those eleven years will be after he turned 30, and most after he turns 33. No reasonable way the Nats would have matched that.

Currently hitting .230 with 9 homers and 27 RBIs, and an OPS of .776. Maybe Soto will someday be known as "Some guy traded for James Wood". Of course, I should admit that I despise the Mets.
