Spencer Turnbull’s net worth is $1.5 million. The former Detroit Tigers pitcher just married Ashely Terkeurst.
The MLB pitcher’s 2024 season has begun on a high note. Turnbull just married his two-year partner, Ashley Terkeurst. He has now gone from free agent to Phillies player. Spencer Turnbull, an Alabama native, has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies for $2 million. Due to a series of injuries, the 31-year-old has only made 16 major league starts in 2020.
He missed the whole 2022 season due to Tommy John surgery, and in 2023 he produced a 7.26 ERA in seven starts for Detroit. The pitcher will most likely start the season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Spencer Turnbull’s Net Worth and Contract
Spencer Turnbull, the new Phillies pitcher, has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million. The pitcher started his MLB career with the Tigers in 2018, making his professional debut against the Cleveland Guardians. The Tigers picked him in 2014 and signed him to a deal for $900,000. Turnbull signed a deal with the squad in 2018 for $545,000. He earned a comparable amount in 2019, 2020, and 2021, but in 2022, he decided to file for a salary arbitration hearing.
The right-handed pitcher and his club were separated by $700,000. Turnbull requested a $2.1 million salary, and his club gave him $1.325 million. He believed he would make $1.8 million in 2022, but MLB trade rumors suggested differently. Turnbull told the journalists,
“I feel like I’m way ahead of where I should be at this point.” A lot of stuff is outside my control, including how quickly I can go ahead.”
At the time, the pitcher was recuperating from Tommy John surgery. A month after filing for arbitration, Turnbull and the Detroit Tigers avoided the hearing by signing a two-year, $3.65 million deal. The contract guaranteed that the pitcher would make $1.5 million in 2022 and $2.15 million in 2023.
Turnbull declared in November 2023 that he would not be returning to the Tigers for the 2024 season. He obtained a full year of service, giving him power over his destiny. But if Tiger hadn’t non-tendered him, Turnbull was set to collect $2.4 million in salary arbitration, keeping him on the club for another season. Turnbull’s deal with the Phillies is his second-largest contract to date. And ideally, his career with the Phillies will be free of injuries.
Spencer Turnbull Family
Spencer Turnbull is the only son of Jim and Missy Turnbull. He has two younger sisters: Maggie and Lily. The MLB player grew up as an Alabama supporter, which must be attributed to his father, Jim. Despite being a New York native, Jim grew up as an Alabama football enthusiast and reared his family in Alabama with his previous wife, Missy.
Missy and Jim separated in 2014, and later that year, Jim was diagnosed with tonsil cancer. He had radiation treatments for 40 days. In 2021, Jim told The Athletic that he had been in remission for five years. The Athletic interviewed Jim after Spencer’s no-hitter against the Mariners in 2021. Jim has been catching for his kid since he taught Spencer how to play baseball. Previously, in an interview with Bally Sports Delight in 2020, Jim said that he had taken full advantage of the epidemic by playing baseball with his kid.
The MLB pitcher just married social media personality Ashley Terkeurst. The baseball couple were engaged and married in three days. Ashley formerly married David Hodges, with whom she had a son called Ryser. The couple videotaped their engagement and marriage ceremonies and released it on Instagram. Spencer proposed in Paris, France, and married Ashley in England two days later.
