splains the power drop. i remembered the hip, but i guess he had a lot of work done. typical hollywood.

he will not earn his contract, but he's still a heck of a hitter.

He’s been on the DL at least 6 times for a minimum of 5 unrelated injuries. Plus had off season surgery for another injury.

Turner has finished 7th, 5th and 11th in MVP voting in the 3 years following 2019?  If that's bad what was the expectation?

That was the expectation, it's this year that he's struggling after signing a massive contract. Even if he regains his form and finishes strong they will be paying him big money until he's 40.

Rendon was pretty good as a Nat, but I didn't mind him leaving in FA.  I could never get onboard with being a fan of his.  I guess it was just the "who cares, not me" attitude he projected, whether he truly felt that way or not (presumably not).
