Wire Taps: Washington Nationals call up Trea Turner - What they're saying...

The Washington Nationals called top infield prospect Trea Turner up this afternoon in a "surprising" move. So what role will Turner fill for the Nationals? What did manager Matt Williams and GM Mike Rizzo say about the decision to call him up? What can Nats fans who haven't been pining away for the day when the Nationals would #freetreaturner and following him in the minors expect from the 22-year-old infielder?

We aren't in the nation's capital today -- no one wants to pay us to cover the team in person on a daily basis so we have to pick our spots [sad face emoticon] -- so we thought we'd just collect everything we've seen out there today on the internet that might help you get to know Turner better and get a better idea of what to expect going forward...

Trea Turner was watching "Straight Outta Compton" when he found out he was getting called up to #Nats. He recommends the movie.

Since so (so, so) many of you are asking, Trea Turner will wear No. 7.

Turner said his parents, girlfriend, best friends, aunts and uncles, etc. are coming to watch his debut. So many people he lost track.

Turner said 2B (where he played last two games) is diff for him, said everything is flipped. He trusts himself to play either, tho.

Rizzo on Turner quotes:

Rizzo says Turner has had to adjust to each level: "We're not expecting him to be the savior of the offense or the savior of the ballclub."

— Andrew Simon (@AndrewSimonMLB) August 21, 2015

Rizzo said Turner will "inject speed, youth and athleticism" into roster. #Nats will "find opportunities to utilize his skill set."

Desmond on the Nats' glut of infielders w/ Turner now up: "This is about winning right now. It's not about personal agendas."

Trea Turner was working out at second base before today's game. #Nats #Nationals #MLB

I hope the Nats give Turner time at short. They could use his glove there as well as his bat and legs.

The Nats called up Trea Turner. Their offense needs help and in Year of the Prospect, maybe a 22yo is the answer: http://t.co/OIbultF9iR
