LOS ANGELES — When Padres fans launch into barstool arguments about the ones who got away, players who left San Diego and blossomed in the ways that haunt, two names fly to the front of the conversation.
You can bank on Anthony Rizzo and, right up the road in one corner of the cozy NL West, Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner.
The Padres snapped up Turner, a North Carolina State star, No. 13 overall in the 2014 draft. Before Christmas gifts were wrapped that year, Turner was caught in the blur of a three-team trade that shipped him to the Nationals.
