Wide-eyed and smiling, Trea Turner was just south of giddy. Max Scherzer was pitching a no-hitter against the New York Mets, and Turner, just 22 years old and in his 26th major league game, was standing at shortstop.
Considering the changes coming to the Washington Nationals, Turner should be prepared to repeat the view. Shortstop is among a handful of important spots that Nationals will likely be filling with a youngster next season. Alterations will sweep through the roster, from the rotation to the infield to the outfield. No place will be more in flux than the bullpen.
