David Murphy, Philadelphia Inquirer sports columnist, said this about the Trea Turner deal, which makes sense: "If the Trea Turner deal is $300 mil over 11 years, I think the best way to look at it is an eight-year, $300 mil deal with the cost spread over three additional years."

It seems kind of like the Phillies having their own Bobby Bonilla Day in years 9-11, but maybe getting at least a little something in return during that time. #phillies #mlb #treatturner #baseball #freeagency #philly
