In recent years, the Dodgers' main force in the shortstop position has been Corey Higg, and last year's 731 trade was limited, and Trey Turner, who traded from the Nationals, did not threaten Higg's position. But Turner's arrival also had some impact on Dodgers' decisions, and Seeger, who was supposed to get a contract extension from dodgers, was let go, and next season will be the final year of Turner's control, will the "leg cannon" guerrilla be the answer to Dodge's guerrilla position for years to come?
"When I was in Washington, I thought about a lot of things about the future, but now look at it, a lot of things won't happen again," Turner said in an interview in September, "Now for me, I don't think about the things that are not there, the Dodgers are a good team, but I don't want to waste my energy on unnecessary speculation."
This offseason is a big year for the shortstops, with the exception of Higg, who has a ten-year, 325 million contract, Marcus Simeon and Javier Bayez, who also have nine-figure contracts, and there are big fish like Trevo Story and Carlos Correa.
In MLB history, there are only 11 guerrillas who have won more than $120 million contracts, and almost all of them have been signed in these two years, except for the relatively long-standing Derrick Kitt, Alex Rodriguez, Troy Tulovetsky and Elvis Andrews. Despite youngsters like Wandel Franco and Fernando Tatis Jr., Lindo's contract extension at this time last year set the tone for the star guerrilla's contract — at least three hundred million a decade.
Regardless of the garrison, fWAR value, Turner can be comparable to Higg and Correa, and it should be known that Turner is a year less than Higg and Correa. These people have all won more than three hundred million (Correa's contract will certainly be more than three hundred million), and Turner is totally worth more.
But the more similarity to Turner should be Lindo, who are players who were traded by the team in the last year or so of the control period, which may motivate the team to keep him with a long contract, and dodges have done similar things before, and they have renewed him with more than three hundred million dollars after the deal has a one-year contract, Mutch Bates.
Compared to Lindo, Turner has his advantage - the attack is more stable, but after he has passed the control period, he will be a year older than Lindo, which may be a hidden problem, and this kind of contract is pension in the final years, and the possibility of rotting is much greater.
Turner also doesn't have to stick to a ten-year contract, like Anthony Lendn, who signed a seven-year, $245 million contract, and the average salary of $35 million is enough to reflect the value of Turner, and he can pursue an eight-year, $280 million contract, which is second only to Mike Trout among the ineguishers.
Of course, now Turner can completely wait and see, wait for Correa and Story to settle down before deciding how much of his new contract he wants, it is certain that there will be no star guerrillas in the free agent market next year, as the only T0 level Turner, the team that wants to sign him will definitely have a premium.
