Phillies' Trea Turner Never Got Formal Contract Offer from Dodgers in Free Agency
Trea Turner spent the end of the 2021 season and all of the 2022 campaign on the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he reportedly never received a formal contract offer from the National League West team this offseason before he joined the Philadelphia Phillies on an 11-year, $300 million deal, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
"I don't know if surprise is the right word," Turner said Monday. "I had conversations with them in spring training last year, and that didn't work out. Once that happened, anything is possible. It's a business ... It just didn't work out."
He added that he "definitely would've considered" an offer from Los Angeles.
