There is so much going on in the news today as the trade deadline is just four days away. The Washington Nationals will make one more call to agent Scott Boras to make a final push to extend a contract for Juan Soto. If they don’t get anything done, expect a good chance that a trade of Soto will happen in the next 96 hours. Also, The Nats №1 draft pick, Elijah Green, is at Nationals Park tonight with his family. The Nats set-up a locker for Green, and the first player to greet him was Soto.  Continue reading →

We have reached game 100 as of today. With a season that was on the brink of being cancelled due to the failed negotiations in the CBA, here we are with just 62-games remaining in this season. The bigger date on the Washington Nationals calendar is the trade deadline which is just six days away. Continue reading →

What could the #Nats realistically get in a Juan Soto trade?

At this point, it’s the worst-kept secret in baseball that the Washington Nationals are at least taking offers on Juan Soto. In fact, to hear some “insiders” tell it, he’s all but out the door within the week, with the trade deadline fast approaching (it’s on August 2) and the Nats supposedly impatient to resolve the “Soto question” ahead of an expected sale of the team this offseason.

Game #99 has a second chance for Gray against the team that traded him

Baseball gives many second chances, and what you do with it says a lot about you as a player. A year ago, the Dodgers traded Josiah Gray to the Washington Nationals. It was just a matter of time before Gray would face his former team, and he was not up to the task in their first head-to-head game. Tonight in Los Angeles, Gray is back on the mound where it all started for him. Hopefully Gray is Gray-t tonight. Continue reading →

With Juan Soto and Josh Bell, the Nats are the worst team in baseball. What’s the plan?

The Washington Nationals have a 33.7 percent win rate. That is the worst record in Major League baseball at this point of the 2022 season. Scary to think the Nats need to go 20-44 just to finish at 53-109 and could be without Juan Soto and Josh Bell after August 2nd — but then again the Nats are 33-65 with them. Continue reading →

Game #98 has the Nats in Los Angeles

The Washington Nationals are in Los Angeles for three games, and the team didn’t need Victor Robles to wear his clown nose to start the pre-game media circus at Juan Soto‘s locker as he was peppered with questions about his future and if he wanted to play for the Dodgers. Soto had all of the right responses to the media that he is still a Washington Nationals’ player. That didn’t end the barrage of questions on the subject. Continue reading →

Ripped from the headlines, a message to the Yankees!

Posted on July 25, 2022 by Stephen G. "Ghost" Mears

There are many who believe that the NY Post’s Jon Heyman, is a mouthpiece for agent Scott Boras. Is there a push to get Juan Soto to the Yankees? Heyman’s headline is “Yankees must be willing to do whatever it takes to land Juan Soto“ and that is a mouthful.  As a former voice for MLB Network, Casey Stern, said over and over “Prospects are cool — Parades are cooler.”  Stern championed this time of year to trade big to get the next Yoenis Cespedes that will get you to the World Series.  Continue reading →
