This time, the goal remains the same, return to the World Series, though Turner acknowledged they ultimately fell short against the defending champions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel we have the pieces. I know it\u2019s not necessarily the \u2018new toy.\u2019 We are more than capable of winning the whole thing. We just have to execute at the end of the year. We just have to put ourselves in another good spot like we did last year, and come out on top,\u201d Turner told NBC Sports Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Turner finished last season with 15 home runs, a slight drop from 2024 when he hit 21 in just 121 games. However, 2025 marked his best year in terms of batting average, posting a .305 clip that proved critical in helping push <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/philadelphia-phillies\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Philadelphia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Philadelphia<\/a> back into the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>    Turner hopes for a big year from Bryce Harper <\/p>\n<p>Inevitably, Turner was asked about comments from Dave Dombrowski regarding Bryce Harper, suggesting Harper did not have an \u201celite\u201d season despite playing a key role in the club\u2019s fourth consecutive postseason appearance since 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to him just\u2014I don\u2019t want to say getting back to himself\u2014but just, you know, having the year he wants to have because when he does that, it\u2019s special,\u201d Turner said, carefully avoiding direct reference to Dombrowski while emphasizing his confidence in his teammate.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the Phillies can return to the postseason again remains likely. Following recent roster adjustments, including the departure of Nick Castellanos, the team still appears well-positioned. Under manager Rob Thomson, Philadelphia has consistently played into October, reaching the World Series in 2022, falling in the NLCS in 2023, and exiting in the Division Series in each of the past two seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trea Turner, like several of his teammates, did everything he could to help the Philadelphia Phillies make a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2397],"tags":[5,4,144,25,4216,40,1713],"class_list":{"0":"post-576553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-phillies","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-philadelphia","11":"tag-philadelphia-phillies","12":"tag-philadelphiaphillies","13":"tag-phillies","14":"tag-trea-turner"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116083321084965175","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
