Spaceman Spiff Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Sad to see that Turner has Covid. That said, I'm with @Riggo#44, if you can get a haul for him, you trade him. He's also got two more years of team control which is extremely valuable, that value starts to chip away as time goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyst Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Nostalgia is keeping this team together but you have to build for the future and that means getting moving on from some players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soto is 22 and will reach free agency in 2025. The Nats are not looking at a 5 year rebuild. More like a 2-3 year retool. Also probably looking to make Soto the franchise player and will not be able to afford Turner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo has been able to make quick moves to get the team in a good spot without 2 bad years in a row for a decade. Now that we have that (if you could that nonsense of a 60 game season), it's time for more of a reboot. I trust Rizzo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sadder after a few different playoff runs that feel short because Matt Williams or Dusty made a boneheaded mistake. This is kind of a dignified "They set out to win a title, and they did.....now the bill is due" bummed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just now, @SkinsGoldPants said: heard Tampa is interested also and they have a highly rated farm system. Tampa does, but he supposedly wants to go to the West Coast--and those three are division rivals--Preller also has a reputation of being trade happy. If we end up with Ruiz, Gore, Abrams, Luciano, Bart, or Campusano as a center piece, that would be phenomenal. Getting a bidding war going makes this sting less.

This is the other end for me, this is the end of an era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably end up rooting for whoever gets Max though. If I can even stomach watching baseball by then… that’s really tbd.

Just don’t know if there’ll be takers for the others (non-Turner) Schwarber, not sure the extent of his injury and if he’ll help a team this season.

TheGoodBits Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Ross could be a sneaky good addition to a playoff team who needs a 4th/5th starter. He’s dirt cheap and has pitched really well this year. Escobar would be a quick flip for us, I’m pretty sure we got him for cash from the Royals and would get at best a low level prospect for him. But he could be a solid utility/depth guy. Harrison is probably a bench bat. But he’s got some power, so that’s useful. And he’s cheap. Schwarber being injured is an issue but it would depend on the prognosis. I’ve been expecting him back in the lineup around September. He could be a huge addition that wouldn’t cost a ton in prospects. And under team control next year is a big bonus. Huddy/Hand- everyone needs relievers. Hand’s recent performance and his contract may be an issue. Bell has been hitting well recently but I’m not sure how many teams have a need. I assume most contenders have better options at 1B. Gomes being hurt complicates his move. He might be a really good backup catcher for a lot of teams. He’s making $6m this year. Not the cheapest option but not horrible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
