Turner and the Nationals agreed to a one-year, $13 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The star shortstop gets a big raise compared to the $7.45 million deal he signed last offseason. It's hard to say that's undeserved, as he's coming off a year in which he hit an excellent .335/.394/.588 with 12 homers and 12 steals over 59 games. Prorated to a standard 162-game season, that translates to 32.4 homers and steals, which would be a full-season low in the latter category for Turner but which would smash his previous career best of 19 homers.

Turner was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies for an undisclosed reason.
EDGE Analysis
Initially listed in Washington's lineup as the starting shortstop and No. 2 hitter, Turner will instead sit for the first time all season. Expect manager Dave Martinez to provide an explanation for Turner's removal from the lineup later Wednesday. Luis Garcia will pick up a start at shortstop, while second baseman Josh Harrison fills Turner's spot in the two hole.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
After a 1-for-4 showing in the matinee, Turner was back atop the order for Game 2, and he kicked off the scoring in the first inning with his 10th home run of the season. The shortstop was not running much at all early on, but he has racked up nine steals in his last 32 games. He's slashing .337/.394/.582 overall and should be an easy first-rounder in rotisserie leagues again next season.
