If no WS, bad results because of his lost 2017 season and he didn’t return to the 5ish WAR player he was for the previous three seasons. When you give up a top end pitching prospect who has struggled in their short time in the majors, sometimes they turn into Jake Arrieta. Sometimes they turn into Jarrod Parker or Daniel Norris. Giolito, to his and CWS credit, has followed the Arrieta path. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a simple man: As of this post, Eaton contributed to a championship-winning team and Giolito has yet to do that. Good trade. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good trade. It was one of those rare trades where both teams got exactly what they wanted. White Sox got guy that turned into a top end starter for their rotation. Nats got a guy who they probably would not have won the WS without. Totally fine with that outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Espino has been a nice underrated story this season. He’s come out of no where and given the team several really solid starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Tomb Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I would venture that in the next year, Juan Soto will be re-upped with a major contract extension given all the questioning about the Lerners' willingness to sign their young talent.

zCommander Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 As a fan that must suck to drop the homer onto the ground from Bell...That's what happens with both the woman and her male friend/hubby are trying to catch the ball at the same time...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Nats are going to get back into this division race, speaking it into existence now 😁 of course, this will likely come back to bite me in the butt in the next few weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox got guy that turned into a top end starter for their rotation. Nats got a guy who they probably would not have won the WS without. Totally fine with that outcome. Giolito was given the chance to go out and just pitch. He figured some things out. He would not have gotten that opportunity here. He's a good guy and am example of perseverance. Eaton was a good player for us and irrationally hated by a lot of Nats fans for some reason. It was unfortunate he got hurt like he did, but it wasn't his fault. So the QO Compensation rule was updated. If we sign Corey Seager for example, this is what we forfeit: Quote A team that neither exceeded the luxury tax in the preceding season nor receives revenue sharing will lose its second-highest selection in the following year's Draft as well as $500,000 from its international bonus pool. If it signs two such players, it will also forfeit its third-highest remaining pick. If that team loses a free agent, it will be awarded a Draft pick immediately following Competitive Balance Round B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Also, since Javy Baez and Kris Bryant were traded, neither are subject to Compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
