San Diego Padres shortstop Trea Turner is eligible to join the Washington Nationals on June 14, roughly a year after he signed with the Padres who selected him as the 13th overall pick in the 2014 Draft, according to a source.

In December, Turner was part of a three-team trade that sent outfielder Steven Souza, Jr. to the Rays, Wil Myers to the Padres and right-hander Joe Ross to the Nationals.

Turner was drafted by the Padres last year, so he wasn't eligible to join the Nationals until this month under a rule that has since been changed.
