Once the Washington Nationals’ most exciting prospect, Trea Turner is now a part of the furniture in the nation’s capital.
The 27-year-old is the second longest-serving National on the active roster with Ryan Zimmerman opting out of the 2020 MLB season (behind only Michael A. Taylor).
And if that doesn’t make you feel old, then Turner’s current double-play partner might do that.
After Starlin Castro broke his wrist, the Nats turned to 20-year-old Luis García to take the reins at second base. He was the first hitter born in the 2000s to play in the major leagues, so all his firsts at this level are the firsts for the next generation of big league hitters.
