Nationals Trade Mead for Pitching Prospect | Washington DC News

The Nationals pull off a bold trade, sending rising star infielder Curtis Mead to Boston for lefty pitcher Connelly Early — a move that swaps hot hitting for a controllable, high-upside arm. Mead’s breakout season makes him a valuable asset, while Early, despite elbow issues, boasts elite stuff and a promising future. This strategic gamble addresses Washington’s pitching needs now and builds depth for the long haul — and it’s just the first move in a busy deadline push.
