He's tallied four doubles, two stolen bases and seven runs over the 10-game stretch. Over 36 games on the season, he has a .281 batting average. The only major disappointment so far ...

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner is off to a slow start offensively in the month of May. Through seven games, he's gone just 5-for-28 at the plate, slashing .179/.233/.214. He has just one extra-base hit (a double) and he has yet to attempt a stolen base. It's been an underwhelming start to the year overall for Turner as he's slugging just .346 with only one home run. However, fantasy managers should be confident that better power numbers lie ahead. He currently has a minuscule 4.0% ...

He has logged a base hit in all eight of the Dodgers' games this season, going 12-for-34 with seven RBI during that span.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner said that there has been nothing new in contract-extension talks between him and the team. Turner is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2022 season, but he said at the start of spring that he'd be open to signing a long-term contract to remain in LA. The 28-year-old won the National League batting title last year with a .328 average, and if he reaches the open market next winter, he could be one of the most coveted players in free agency. Turner...

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $21 million deal. Turner was acquired from the Washington Nationals last year and played second base upon his arrival to LA. But now that Corey Seager is with the Texas Rangers, Turner will be the Dodgers everyday shortstop. With Fernando Tatis Jr. out for three months with a fractured wrist, Turner has become the obvious choice at No. 1 overall in fantasy drafts. An All-Star in 2021, ...

In this series of posts, I will go through a few situations in today's fantasy baseball game where resources are scarce. These are the parts of the game where the smartest and best players really excel, as they recognize the scarcity and know how to use it to their advantage.Category scoring is a zero-sum game. If you draft 40 steals from Trea Turner, nobody else can have those steals they are gone from the draft pool. This isn't a problem if there are tons of other players who can also chip in...

The Los Angeles Dodgers will make it a priority to sign shortstop Trea Turner to a contract extension, in the opinion of The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. Turner is under contract for the 2022 season, but after that he'll become a free agent. The 28-year-old led all position players in Wins Above Replacement (6.9) last year and won his first batting title by hitting .328. Turner was also two home runs shy of a 30-30 season. With Corey Seager now playing for the Texas Rangers, Ardaya thinks it's ...

Since 2019, Trea Turner has been a regular first-round pick in fantasy drafts, but in 2022 Turner is going as the number one overall pick, more than anyone. Having second base and shortstop eligibility is part of that but the big reason is his consistency at contributing in all five fantasy categories. Between 2016 to 2019, Turner averaged 114 games with 16 homers and 39 stolen bases, while hitting .293/.349/.470. In 2020's shortened season, Turner had 12 homers and 12 steals in 59 games which ...
