"The dust still is settling on the MacKenzie Gore trade to the Rangers, yet the air in D.C. has become debatably thicker in terms of trade rumors. According to reports, Paul Toboni isn't just listening in on offers for CJ Abrams... he's actively discussing him to teams that inquire. Just when Nats fans were finally seeing some of the fruits of the "Soto haul" pan out,"
"San Francisco Giants Obviously they've already called and been rebuffed, which probably just means that Toboni is just waiting for them to sweat. The Giants are desperate for another franchise cornerstone after missing out on the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes and a mostly quiet second half from Rafael Devers. They have a hole to fill within their middle infield, and a fan base that is hungry for the best brand of baseball it can get in the Bay Area."
MacKenzie Gore was traded to the Rangers and trade rumors around Washington intensified. General manager Paul Toboni is actively discussing shortstop CJ Abrams with teams that inquire. The Nationals have rebuffed initial interest from the Giants while keeping the door open for a potential farm-altering return. Trading a 25-year-old All-Star shortstop with three years of control would amount to a franchise-defining gamble. The San Francisco Giants could make a competitive offer, potentially including Bryce Eldridge, Bo Davidson, and Joe Whitman, providing a power-hitting prospect, outfield depth, and a left-handed arm in exchange for a controllable cornerstone infielder.
