The Phillies signed Trea Turner to a $300 million contract because, when right, he is one of the most dynamic players in the sport. But he hasn't lived up to expectations yet. MattGelb on Turner’s slump, and the support he's receiving from his team:
asked hitting coach Kevin Long if he’d throw to him in the cage. Turner paused in the middle of the session, at 11:10 p.m., to answer questions from three reporters for three minutes. “Obviously,” Turner said, “I’m the reason why we lost that game.”were transmitted back to Philadelphia, aired on NBC Sports Philadelphia’s hot-take postgame show and dissected on social media.
Thomson, sometime after that late-night hitting session, told Turner he would bat eighth in Thursday’s game. The manager said he did it to alternate righty and lefty batters all the way through the order. Turner had not hit eighth since 2015, in the 18th game of his rookie season. For a day, he became the most expensive No. 8 hitter in baseball history.
Castellanos, who fought his own demons last season as a high-priced signing, would know. There is a fine line. “You only can help as much as they allow you to help,” Nick Castellanos said of any struggling teammate. on Wednesday — they blew a five-run lead before he did not make a play he should have made in the 11th inning — but he owned it. He has, at numerous times this season, bemoaned all of the talk. It’s one thing, he says, to know what has to change. It’s another to actually do it.
Turner, who soared in March on a huge stage with Team USA during the World Baseball Classic and then announced on Instagram that his wife was expecting another boy, has not skirted his flop. He has answered every question. He has not made excuses. His teammates have, at times, found him almost too candid about how poorly he’s played.
