There are four great shortstops on the free-agent market, but there’s a major two-man competition going on for who’s No. 1 — and who’s going to get the No. 1 deal — between Carlos Correa and Trea T…
Correa may also hold another slight advantage since word is Turner would prefer to be on the East Coast, all things being equal. To that end, Turner actually said he will consider any locale and loved his second season in Los Angeles after his agency tried to stop his deal there the year before.
The Dodgers, Twins, Red Sox and Braves all need to fill a shortstop hole due to the free agency of those two plus Boston’s Bogaerts and Atlanta’s Dansby Swanson, who also may prefer to play in the East. The market includes several West Coast teams, including the Giants, Padres and possibly Diamondbacks and Mariners. That could aid Correa and Bogaerts since there’s no perception of geographic preference, beyond Bogaerts’ willingness to take a “hometown” discount deal once with the Red Sox.
There are about 10 teams at least surveying the market, which may include the Cardinals, Orioles and Yankees, who probably are interested only if the unthinkable happens and superstar Aaron Judge leaves.The Phillies know Turner from his Nationals days. In Washington, where he was a teammate of Philly star Bryce Harper, and he could fill a leadoff spot and allow NL homer leader Kyle Schwarber to move to the middle of the order.
Swanson, who recently met with the Phillies, could make sense in Chicago as fiancée Mallory Pugh is a soccer star with the Chicago Red Stars.
