Nats waive white flag...Fire sale underway

Yeah but Gio has been god awful and very disappointing... I had high hopes for him this year...

After a really good start to year and in a contract year. I honestly wonder if there's something wrong with him.

Possibly but he never went on DL so who knows

Gio's regression isn't terribly surprising. His ERA was a good run+ below his FIP and xFIP last year (he had a .255 BABIP allowed last year) and his meh K/BB rates have gotten much worse this year.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Isn't Bonilla off the books after this year?

I hope not.

But if he is, they still have contracts of Todd Frazier, Jay Bruce and Jason Vargas that they just signed that will be hard to move, and they're still paying Cespedes big money too.

Regression isn't surprising. Falling off the map is though. He's been getting shelled since June.

For their sake, if they do, I hope they spend it more wisely than the Mets did this past offseason.

Hows Agon and Kazmir doing for the braves Thats 38 mil well spent

I believe The Mets AND orioles are paying for awhile longer.

Yeah I was reading about it on Bobby Bonilla day. There are plenty of deals like this still out there.

The Sox are still paying manny.

Scherz will get half his contract after he stops pitching for the Nats
