Rangers should be thankful for Corey Seager contract after Trea Turner’s horrifying Phillies series

Stephen Parello of Nolan Writin' argues that Texas Rangers fans should appreciate Corey Seager's situation despite a frustrating season, especially compared to Trea Turner's struggles with the Philadelphia Phillies. Turner went 1-for-11 in the NL Wild Card Series as Philadelphia was eliminated by the Atlanta Braves, capping a regular season where he hit just .245/.297/.378.

Parello contends that Turner is a more difficult asset, noting he has seven years and $190 million left alongside poor defensive metrics. Meanwhile, Seager has five years and $155 million remaining, offered stronger defense, and posted a .297/.364/.497 slash line during an extended stretch late in the season.
