Trea Turner has been one of the best shortstops in the MLB from the Nationals, to the Dodgers, and now with the Philadelphia Phillies. While it may make sense for the Phillies to keep Turner, but after they resigned Kyle Schwarber, they could free up some cap space.
Turner is also truly finding his groove as shown by finishing 5th in MVP voting in the National League, and he also finished 5th in the MLB with a .304 batting average and 4th in hits with 179. This is why the Atlanta Braves need to trade for Turner.

 Phillies Will Trade Trea Turner to the Atlanta Braves
The offseason chatter suggests Philadelphia Phillies could be a surprising trade partner for Atlanta Braves as the Braves continue their search for a legitimate shortstop upgrade.
With Atlanta’s middle-infield situation still unsettled and their shortstop production ranking among the worst in the league, adding a proven veteran from the Phillies might accelerate their rebuild.
Philadelphia’s infield depth — boosted by the arrival of young prospects like Aidan Miller — makes them a realistic seller this winter. The Phillies have openly discussed pushing their top prospects toward major-league roles, which could make trading a surplus major-league infielder a logical step.
For the Braves, acquiring a veteran shortstop in exchange could address their biggest roster weakness and give their core of hitters a more dependable presence up the middle.
Their internal options at shortstop delivered weak offensive output in 2025, and the free-agent market at shortstop this winter appears thin — making a trade that involves established players a sensible approach.
Meanwhile, the Phillies would benefit from offloading salary tied up in an established veteran while creating room for prospects to grow into big-league roles. That flexibility could help them retool around a younger core without sacrificing competitiveness.
At the end of the day, this hypothetical Phillies-Braves trade could serve both clubs well: Atlanta would gain stability up the middle, while Philadelphia could accelerate their rebuild and open new paths for their top infield prospects.
