Phillies discuss infield options including Aidan Miller as Turner considers future
Summary

Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski addressed Trea Turner's defensive performance during the end-of-season press conference. Dombrowski emphasized the need for improvement from Turner and hinted at the potential for team changes. He mentioned Aidan Miller, a young infielder who could be a viable option if Turner cannot enhance his defensive play. Despite Turner’s $300 million contract, the team is contemplating alternatives as Miller recovers from injury and regains his form. Dombrowski's comments suggest that Miller may be positioned to contribute sooner rather than later to the Phillies' roster.
