The Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a massive deal with shortstop Trea Turner, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The 29-year-old free agent will reportedly receive an 11-year, $300 million contract with a full no-trade clause.

The two-time All-Star is a career .302/.355/.487 hitter with 124 homers, 230 steals and 434 RBIs in 849 games with the Washington Nationals (2015-21) and Dodgers.

Turner won a World Series with Washington in 2019 and won the NL batting title with a .328 average in 2021.

The Phillies won the NL pennant in 2022 and lost to the Houston Astros in the World Series.
