Trea Turner: Dodgers didn't make me free-agent offer

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner said he "would've considered" an offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers in free agency if he had received one.

"I entertained one West Coast team (the San Diego Padres), I definitely would've entertained another," Turner told reporters, including Claudia Gestro, before the Phillies and Dodgers met on Monday. "Especially one that I enjoyed and played at and was familiar with."

He added, "I thought they would be on me, they weren't, but it would've been definitely my top few teams."

The two-time All-Star signed an 11-year, $300-million deal with the Phillies in December after spending the previous season and a half with the Dodgers. He was a spark plug in L.A.'s lineup, slashing .307/.353/.490 with 31 home runs, 128 RBIs, and 38 steals in 212 games.

The Florida native said he had a feeling he might not return to the Dodgers after "the first week or so" of free agency.

"They told me they would be there in free agency and have conversations, but then once free agency opened, (we) didn't have too much contact ... one or two phone calls for the two months or so," he said.

Turner is off to a slow start with the Phillies (.674 OPS in 29 games). The Dodgers have used several players at shortstop, including Mookie Betts, after Gavin Lux tore his ACL during spring training.
