Nationals get prospect Trea Turner to finish deal (The Associated Press)

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The San Diego Padres are sending top prospect Trea Turner to the Washington Nationals.

The shortstop selected 13th overall by San Diego in the June 2014 draft was part of a three-team trade in December that sent 2013 AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers to the Padres.

Nationals prospects Steven Souza and Travis Ott went to Tampa Bay, and Washington acquired right-hander Joe Ross and a player to be named.

Turner hit .322 at Double-A for the Padres organization. The Nationals plan to assign Turner to Double-A Harrisburg.
