What a win last night. Who would have thunk that Cory Abbott could beat Jacob deGrom. Without Juan Soto and Josh Bell, it was Joey Meneses and Luis Garcia stepping up along with Abbott and most of the Nats bullpen courtesy of a slick Houdini act by Kyle Finnegan who was not traded yesterday.

The dust cleared and general manager Mike Rizzo traded three players before the 2022 deadline in two separate trades. Yesterday it was Ehire Adrianza dealt to the Braves, and today it was All-Star Juan Soto and Josh Bell who were shipped to San Diego in an eight player blockbuster. Continue reading
Assuming the deal goes down as is (i.e., no Hosmer), please weigh in by voting and comments on what you think of the return. Continue reading

Will the Washington Nationals trade Juan Soto?
One way or another, we will know by 6 p.m. ET tomorrow where Soto will spend at least the next two months and perhaps much longer.
The 23-year-old superstar went 1-for-1 with a home run, three walks, a stolen base, and an outfield assist in possibly his last game as a Washington National. The Nats could choose to hold onto Soto at the trade deadline, although it’s heavily rumored that they are preparing to trade him for what would have to be a massive haul of prospects and/or young major league talent.

Just when you thought the Washington Nationals were going to lay down and give up last Sunday in Arizona, they kind of did the opposite. The Nats won Sunday and the first two games against the best team in the National League in taking 2-of-3 from the Dodgers then took last night’s game from the Cardinals who are fighting for a spot in the NL Central and Wild Card race. The Nats have now won 4-of-6 games going into today, and this is what winning feels like. Continue reading

The internet geniuses were wrong again. Adding 10 + 10 together did not add up to 32. Erick Fedde was not traded today, even though it is that time of year. Players still get hurt, and Fedde went on the IL with inflammation in his shoulder. No structural damage per the reports. On regular rest due to Thursday’s day-off, Paolo Espino will start in Fedde’s spot. Continue reading
"Opening Day should be a National holiday"
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
If you’d like a full side-by-side comparison of the platforms and the reasons behind this decision, please refer to the chart below. This change is being made with the long-term benefit of the entire community in mind.
