Question for the board:

there's talk that the Nationals are looking to unload Patrick Corbin's contract as part of a Soto trade. It's a big albatross. But, if it meant landing Soto at a reasonable trade cost (meaning, we don't gut the farm and hang onto several of our good ones), would you be interested?

Robbed on his 1st AB or he would have been 3 for 5. Smith is really struggling right now.

Think so.

With an extension in place. Absolutely
No extension. Hard pass

Chris Young appeared a genius in the draft.

 

[DTC]

I figured they wouldn’t be able sign him. So glad they did! We got two bonafide pitchers!

If my math is correct that leaves them with about $540,000 left. They could sign a couple more players?

Hope they can sign Jackson Kelley and Matt Brosky

Outstanding move. Got the best hs pitcher in the 4th round.

If it didn't mean having to trade a handful of the teams top ten prospects, then maybe.
Given the Nats reported asking price (something like a teams top four prospects plus one or two big league players) I would absolutely NOT do that deal.

Only guy I might make that trade for would be Ohtani because he's also a top-level pitcher to go with the hitting ability. Even then, probably not.

No. I don't want to pay the price it would cost for a guy who is a free agent in 27 months.

Now, I might be interested in him in 27 months.

Does Boras have any history of extending high quality players to facilitate a trade?

Not if he had his way but sometimes players do what they want despite Boras representing

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

so, 2022 draft > 2021 draft now right?

Does Boras have any history of extending high quality players to facilitate a trade?

worth mentioning that there isn't really a benchmark for this type of trade. Soto is a once in a lifetime talent.

Nice to see another team mail it in on a day game. It’s usually the rangers who do that.
