According to Nightengale, Trea Turner, a three-time All-Star, two-time batting champ and two-time stolen base champ is out there for the right price. Same goes for outfielder Brandon Marsh, who made his first All-Star appearance in 2026.
"The Phillies, who are in desperate need for a third baseman and left fielder, badly want to shake things up, and that requires more than just firing a few of their coaches," writes Nightengale in USA Today. "Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner are available, but Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper are staying put."
What Turner's trade value is at this point is another question altogether.
He has seven years and a whopping $190 million left on his contract, after putting up the worst season of his career from an OPS standpoint, at .675. He's also going into his age-34 season.
Phillies looking to bolster offense
Despite those big power bats of Schwarber and Harper, the Phillies still finished in the bottom third of the majors in OPS, OBP and average. They need to add to their offense, while also helping out their bullpen depth.
In their search for a left fielder, free agent names like Randy Arozarena and Seiya Suzuki are both on their radar, per former MLB GM Jim Bowden, but if they need to go the trade route, they've got a couple of pieces to dangle.
Expect Dombrowski to be active this week, as MLB's General Manager Meetings take place in Las Vegas. He is expected to be one of the biggest "movers and shakers" at these meetings.
