Trea Turner turned down $342 million offer from Padres to sign with Phillies for $300 million, according to @Buster_ESPN
Trea would’ve had to pay around $44 million in CA state taxes. His wife is from NJ and wanted to be on the East Coast. Plus, his wife and Harper's wife are friends.

If my math is correct, the average annual values of the Turner ($27.27 million), Walker ($18 million), and Strahm ($7.5 million) contracts leave the #Phillies' projected 2023 payroll at $238 million, $5 million over the luxury-tax threshold.
Dombrowski going ALL in
