Deadline Drama: Five Must-Watch Players and Teams Poised to Shake Up the MLB Trade Market
No, you didn’t. Stop lying.
They’re No. 1 in the majors in runs and top-five in several other offensive categories. Their pitching isn’t great, but it’s been enough to keep the team above .500.
What now? This team doesn’t necessarily have to sell. The Nationals haven’t won more than 71 games since their 2019 World Series season, so this year has been a breath of fresh air, and getting to the playoffs isn’t a make-or-break proposition. Most of the tradable assets would still be tradable in the offseason, aside from starter Foster Griffin, who has been incredible (9-2, 2.87 ERA in 18 starts) on a one-year deal coming back from pitching in Japan. Keeping him around with a two- or three-year extension would seem to be appealing for both sides, if the money is right.
