Trea Turner helped crush the San Diego Padres on Sunday, but what fans may not remember is that he was supposed to be a San Diego Padre.
Turner was San Diego’s first round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft in June 2014. But by December, he was gone—part of the three-team, 11-player trade that brought Wil Myers and three others over to the Padres.
He officially became a member of the Washington Nationals about a year after the Padres drafted him. He’s now the Nationals’ starting shortstop, and launched one of four consecutive home runs that easily defeated his former team this weekend.
