Trea Turner is En Fuego

Former NC State Shortstop Trea Turner is nearing greek god status. His rookie season continues to read like a fairy tale.

Last night Turner went 4-5, with a home run, a double, 2 rbi, and 2 steals against the Braves.

This afternoon Turner followed up one monster performance with another. He went 3-5, torching the braves for 2 home runs, and his 27th stolen base.

Allow me to blow your mind with these tweets.

I traded Jake Arrieta for Trea Turner straight up in my Fantasy Baseball Keeper League last week. I’ve done nothing but smile ever since.

The legend of Trea Turner continues.
