How long is Trea Turner’s contract with the Phillies? The shortstop’s annual salary in Philadelphia
The city of Philadelphia was humming with excitement in December 2022 after the Phillies made a blockbuster move, signing All-Star shortstop Trea Turner to an 11-year, $300 million contract. The signing signaled the Phillies’ intent to build their roster on their most recent World Series run, 2022, against the Houston Astros and position themselves for another deep playoff push.
Turner, a high-quality shortstop known for his versatility, speed, and hitting ability, reunited with former teammate Bryce Harper, with whom he played for the Washington Nationals. Harper himself still holds one of the other massive contracts on the Phillies roster, and Turner, at that moment, joined an elite group of only four Phillies players with deals worth at least $100 million.
Fans in Philadelphia were thrilled about the team’s acquisition of Turner, firmly believing he was the missing piece to elevate the team. Turner struggled at the start of the 2023 season, but after a standing ovation from the fans at the beginning of August 2023, he went on a ten-game hitting streak. In the 48 games after the ovation, Turner batted .337 with 16 home runs and 42 RBIs. On August 19, 2023, in a 12–3 win against the Washington Nationals, Turner became the third player in Phillies history to hit two home runs in the same inning.
In his first season (2023), the Phillies clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive season, defeating the Miami Marlins in the NLWCS. They then defeated the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS in four Games and advanced to the NLCS, where they lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks in seven Games.
What’s Trea Turner’s salary with the Phillies?
Turner’s contract spans eleven years and guarantees an average annual salary of $27.7 million.
In 2023, Turner’s base salary matched his total earnings at $27.7 million. Looking behind to 2024, his base salary was $27,272,727, and he will receive on top off it a $50,000 team performance bonus, bringing his total salary to $27,272,727.
Interestingly, his league tax rate is set to decrease from 11.71% in 2023 to 11.18% in 2026.
