When Mitchell Parker came into the game yesterday, most Nats fans knew things would not end well.

I'm pinch-hitting for MLBTR owner Tim Dierkes on this week's MLB Mailbag! In this edition, we'll get into Rafael Devers' contract and trade value (or lack thereof), the Nationals' unexpectedly strong performance and how it could shape their deadline, the revolving door for "41st men" on 40-man rosters (e.g. Atlanta's Carlos Carrasco), the Guardians' deadline […]

CJ Abrams is just 25 years old, has 14 home runs, 51 RBIs, and a .283 average in 67 games, and plays for a Washington Nationals team that traded MacKenzie Gore in January and is clearly not built to contend over a 162-game season. ESPN's Jeff Passan explored the trade picture this week, naming the Yankees, Braves, Brewers, and Rays as teams that could pursue Abrams ahead of the August 3 deadline. Abrams is not a free agent until after the 2028 season, meaning any acquiring team gets two-pl...

His youth and intriguing […]
Well, that was disappointing. The Diamondbacks followed up holding their own against the Dodgers with getting the tar beat out of them by the struggling, but offensively proficient, Washington Nationals.
