Nationals Trade Surge Before Deadline | Washington Nationals News

The Nationals just pulled off a savvy trade, sending infielder Curtis Mead to Boston for lefty pitcher Connelly Early—a young, experienced arm who could be a major upgrade for their rotation now and in the future. With Early in, it’s almost certain pitcher Foster Griffin will be dealt before August 3rd, as the team seeks value for his strong performances rather than letting him walk for nothing. Meanwhile, the Nationals are eyeing a potential deal for Luis Garcia Jr., likely targeting top prospects to bolster their farm system, though they may wait until closer to the deadline to gauge their playoff chances. This is a team actively rebuilding for both the present and the future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
