In recent years, Trea Turner has been at the center of speculation regarding a change of position. The shortstop started his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers at second base in 2021.
Then, when he became a free agent, there were rumors that some clubs intended to sign him to play center field.
According to some people, he is a good shortstop, but he has the speed and the potential to be an excellent center fielder.
From the lot? Dishes. According to what Jon Heyman reports, the Mets were serious about signing him in center field.
The club already has Francisco Lindor at shortstop and he doesn’t seem to have the profile to play third base. And he didn’t enjoy playing second base more than he should.
The problem for the Mets? He had several offers for the shortstop. He notably refused an offer of $ 342 million from the Padres to sign at a cost of $ 300 million with the division rivals of the Mets and his former Nationals, that is to say with the Phillies.
The Mets, they finally kept the services of Brandon Nimmo.
This really demonstrates that the Mets are willing to spend as the club subsequently signed Carlos Correa… with the conclusion that we know.
The club is clearly still looking for a star. I have the impression that this summer, at the trade deadline, Steve Cohen will want don DG to get him a big player.
And I have a feeling it could be Shohei Ohtani.
