Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Thursday that if Trea Turner "attempts 75-80 [stolen bases], we’ll be in great shape."
MASN's Mark Zuckerman notes that only nine major leaguers have attempted 75-plus steals in a season over the last decade and that only four have attempted 80 or more. Turner swiped a National League-leading 43 bags on 52 attempts in 2018. It's nice to have goals, and the fact that Martinez is pushing the idea speaks to Turner's amazing athleticism and possibly elite-level fantasy upside.
