David Murphy: With a hefty contract for Trea Turner, the Phillies are all in on the next five seasons

The biggest question was when. You can’t often say that about $300 million contracts. But Trea Turner’s was one of them. That’s how much sense he made for the Phillies. And if the Phillies were willing to pay him $27.5 million a year through his 40th birthday, well, they certainly…
