⚾ What do you want to see the Phillies do with struggling Trea Turner?
To be fair, it’s not as though the team will miss his offensive output. Since April 18, when he was batting .338 through 16 games, he has a .633 OPS — nearly 200 points below his career average — ranking him in the bottom 10 of all qualified players over that span.
Whether the offense is affecting the defense, or vice versa, we don’t know. But the defense is suffering as well. His 13 errors this season are just three off his career high, with one-third of the regular season left. While his play has been frustrating, it’s far too early to write Turner off. He has far too much talent for it all to just erode over the span of four months. Remember the World Baseball Classic this past spring? Some of his titanic home runs may still be traveling through the stratosphere.
He is searching for answers, and some time away from his job may help him find them. John Middleton and Dave Dombrowski invested quite a bit in Turner, and aren’t getting much return. This is a player they envisioned carrying the team toward perennial deep postseason runs. Right now, he is not producing much faith that he will produce in high-leverage situations.
Maybe a week off will hit the reset button for the superstar, and he can rejoin the starting lineup refreshed and ready to steamroll into October.
