@davidaldridgedc This ownership group would not have offered Griffin a 23M QO

Now that the MLB trade deadline is over, Nats Edition: • I doubt many teams would give up a top 12 prospect for a pending FA - even an All-Star like Foster Griffin. Should the Nats have tendered him, knowing they'd get a draft pick if he signed elsewhere? Fair question. Maybe.

Excited for this Abrams 70 WRC+ rest of season

Wood and Abrams doing the same thing they did at this point last year

@pkcapitol They have absent owners

Nats have the best offense in baseball. There’s not a close second. Smart Baseball People will talk about “the haul” they’re getting for trading away legit stars now. They said same in 2012 on shutting Stras down. At some point the way to get better is by trying to win…..

@NatsNextGen RP prospects age doesn’t matter my man

Way too old for the level but genuinely dominant (97k/10BB career #s). Hope he can move quickly thru the org and maybe be up in 2H of next year. Bummed Franklin never worked out here, really wanted him to but the OPS regressed .100pts as an OF who will be 27 next spring training

@TVForSeniors @K_Williamsmedia Strange suspicion he knows a bit more about it than you boyo

@K_Williamsmedia Tough to buy that one. You don’t trade your best pitcher for 4 non-prospects if you think the 2026 team is going anywhere.

On a Zoom with reporters, Paul Toboni repeatedly said that he still believed in this year's team, but that he had to improve the foundation of the organization.

@netdawg @JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal He wasn’t

@JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal man... Francisco Mejia had to be one hell of a cancer

Sources confirm the @Ken_Rosenthal report that the Nationals and Indians are deep into discussions on a trade expected to send catcher Yan Gomes to Washington.

@CalSuperDad @JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal WS Champs boyo

@JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal Seems like Nats are willing to spend themselves into poverty, even knowing they’re not going to win NL race.

@hbrhhp72t9 @NationalsSource Grable is considered almost mlb ready

@NationalsSource Only 2 will be in the pen Dion and cruz

So in one deadline they got 5 guys that can be in their pen next year or earlier plus more👍🏻

@tmg424 @GrantPaulsen He’s under this ownership

@GrantPaulsen So we're going to continue to develop guys, so we can trade and develop more guys?

The Foster Griffin trade return: Josh Hartle No. 25 prospect in CLE system 6-foot-6 RHP in AA 88K in 93 IP Will Dion LHP reliever Pithed 12 times in majors this year 25K in 19 IP at MLB level this year 91 MPH FB ... IVB is good Throws 4FB, CB, CH Kendeglys Virguez 22yo RHP at AA Reliever with 45K in 28IP AVG against .243 Walks 4.5 per 9 Nick Mitchell 22yo LHH OF 2024 4th Rounder out of Indiana .240 avg and .718 OPS 5 HR and 19 SB at AA

Toboni clearly had a goal this deadline to get as many tickets he could mold into MLB RPs. Time will tell

@jasonwright25 @NationalsSource Our owners are not offering him 23M

@NationalsSource Worst case he rejects a QO and we get a first round pick

Don’t have a good feeling about the Foster Griffin situation right now.

@NationalsSource He pulled a 24 FInnegan

@pxv3744 @TJStats Already fell off one

@TJStats watch river Ryan fall off boards now that he’s not dodger, clockwork.

So far there have been 4 TJStats Top 100 prospects traded: - #21 Zyhir Hope (DET) - #22 Arjun Nimmala (LAS) - #35 River Ryan (DET) - #88 Ramon Marquez (SF) This is shaping up to be a fun deadline!

@MoccBomb People still buy this account in the big 2026?

Sources: #RedSox talks surrounding #Angels SS Zach Neto are rapidly intensifying #MoccBomb

Longest in a season it’s been in awhile hitting the ol Tankathon site

@BaseballValues RP prospect are undervalued

Today the #Yankees reportedly acquired IF Luis Garcia Jr. ($9.6M surplus trade value) from the #Nationals in exchange for RHPs Jack Cebert ($2.4M), Ben Grable ($1.8M), Yovanny Cruz ($0.9M) and Jake Bird ($0.1M) The deal is accepted by our model as a moderate underpay by New York

Bird and BAs recent Yanks #11, 19 and 24 Cruz and Grable will be in the pen soon

Abrams sold this weekend.Shame

@starsstrikesbb This ownership group is never extending him

Jokes aside, this series probably has helped any chances the Nationals have of keeping CJ long term. He’s showing he’s not a shortstop in real time, at a moment where teams are deciding if they want to make a huge offer that values him as a 30+ HR shortstop. Assuming that offer doesn’t come, the Nationals get to point to that and say “no team sees you that way. We value you more than anyone else, and here’s our offer.”
