I don't think folks realize just how well Turner is playing this year and the past few. By fWAR, he's top 6 the past 3 years, 1st since the start of 2020, top 4 I think this year. He's ahead of every qualified SS except Xander this year. The big class of free agent SS this year, only Story is close- not Seager, not Correa, not Baez, not even Lindor. Defensively he's picked it up a ton.

Trea Turner has been ridiculously good. The bright lights on Scherzer, Rendon, Strasburg, and Soto have outshined him, but in himself is an elite player.

What do people think his contract looks like? Even with his power lowering his reliance on, at his age and player profile I'd be nervous to to go super long. My guess is 6 years, 25 a year? $150 million?

You could sell me on 6 for more like $165 million. He is just so darn good.
