Dodgers Pass on Opportunity to Retain Star Shortstop Trea Turner

Trea Turner expressed interest in staying with the Dodgers long-term but they never made him a formal offer.
The Dodgers' plans at shortstop were disrupted by an injury to Gavin Lux but they still did not pursue Turner aggressively.
Turner and the Dodgers had preliminary discussions in spring training but failed to gain enough traction to reach a deal.
The Dodgers bowed out of the bidding for Turner, who ultimately signed an $300 million contract with the Phillies.
Turner returned to Dodger Stadium as a Phillie and said he appreciated his time with the Dodgers despite their inability to retain him.
