Lefty’s Wild 24-Hour Trade Ride | Washington Nationals News

In a wild 24-hour whirlwind, lefty pitcher Will Dion went from riding a bus with the Columbus Clippers to suiting up for the Nationals—thanks to a surprise trade from the Guardians. Dion, drafted by Cleveland in 2021 and making his MLB debut against the Nats earlier this year, was one of four players sent to Washington alongside Josh Hartle, Kendeglys Virguez, and Nick Mitchell. Despite his short time on the road, Dion used the last hours of his bus ride to say goodbye and make calls before driving four hours to Philly. Known for his grit and Louisiana roots, Dion’s competitive spirit impressed Nationals manager Dave Martinez, who praised his resilience. Dion is thrilled to join a Nationals team on the rise—and he’s already got his sights set on the majors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
