ESPN MLB Insider Wants Philadelphia Phillies to Move Veteran and Make Room For Top Prospect

He also posted this, about Turner, on June 2:

Trea Turner has minus-27 defensive runs saved as Phillies shortstop (since 2023), 11 runs worse than any SS over that span.

With 8/218 left on that contract, he's destined for center field (and will thrive there).

Miller, 20, is currently at Double-A Reading. A first-round pick in 2023 out of the high school ranks, he's hitting .241 with five homers, 15 RBIs and a .337 on-base percentage. He is projected to make his major league debut in 2026, though Opening Day next year may be a little too quick. He's ranked as the No. 25 prospect in the sport, per MLB Pipeline.

The Phillies enter play on Thursday at 37-24 and in second place in the National League East. They'll finish out a series with the Toronto Blue Jays at 3:07 p.m. ET. Left-hander Jesus Luzardo will pitch for Philly against Chris Bassitt.

Luzardo is 5-1 with a 3.58 ERA while Bassitt is 5-3 with a 3.80 ERA.

The two teams have split the first two games of the three-game series.
