Yes. Relievers are so volitile, so it's not all on Rizzo. We do have some minors prospects I'd like to see in the next year: Cronin, Klobosits, Schaller.

honest question, why wait till next year? especially if we really are in sell mode, no reason to wait to see what we have

Because rushing them can stunt their development. Klobosits is the closest, Cronin is hurt right now, I think.

huddy can go 2 innings, but dave continues to play with fire

****ing Davey, going to the guy who's job it is to close out games. What was he thinking?

Wow.  It’s time to blow it up, Mike.

 

At this point, they're doing us a favor--too old, injury prone, inconsistent, and just bad to compete. Let's not wait 3-4 more years of this before unloading players. **** it, trade everyone not named Soto.

Yea, have some studs in the farm like Cavalli & some international prospects a few years away.  Aside from that we have close to nothing down on the Farm.  Need to restock.

Nats envision the next big 3 being Cavalli, Rutledge, and Henry. They also have Andry Lara from Venezuela. Of their top 30, 7 are 20 and under. I am growing increasingly okay with dealing Turner. I do not want to end up like the 2012 to...well...present day Phillies.

ya weird to want to see our best bullpen pitcher close out the game (who was doing well the inning before) instead of a guy that's in full meltdown mode this month.. but have to go with the closer just because he's "the closer", right? just asking for a LITTLE creativity

Hudson hates closing. Hand had a 2-run lead and sucked. That's on him. He won't be here by weeks end anyway. Someone will hopefully take a flyer on him.

Plan to rebuild around Soto is a pretty risky proposition given that he only has 3 more years of arbitration.  Given the Boras history and Nats history of keeping their own FA, once you sprinkle in major downturn in the years leading up to his FA, chances of Soto staying would be extremely small.

Honestly if you’re going full rebuild *and* aren’t confident in your ability to resign him, it makes a lot of sense to trade Soto too. Not now, but like this winter or next.

News alert: The Washington Nationals are not the Pittsburgh Pirates.
