I do like UNC still, but I made this username about 10 years ago - I'm a UNC Charlotte graduate now! That's where my true alliance is.

Best player moving in any direction in that deal - and San Diego still doesn't have a SS yet.

They didn't have a 1B before Myers either. Anyway, way too early to make that statement with Myers having almost 4.5 WAR with a fair bit of the season left and Turner having done nothing in his career yet. I'd definitely call the Nats the winners of that trade, but I can't say the Padres really lost anything yet. I'm a big fan of Turner as a prospect, but he's going to have to be a hell of a SS to be more valuable than a 5ish WAR 1B.
