"Just when Nats fans were finally seeing some of the fruits of the "Soto haul" pan out, what was supposed to be the foundation of the future... It comes out that the Nationals are reportedly rebuffing interest from teams like the Giants while keeping the door open for another "farm altering" return. If you thought that trading Gore was an iffy move, how about trading a 25-year-old All-Star shortstop with three years of control, which is nothing less than a franchise-defining gamble."
"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. If Toboni is serious about "playing for the future," here are three teams that could actually meet the astronomical asking price for the face of the Washington Nationals..."
The Washington Nationals are reportedly engaging in trade discussions regarding 25-year-old All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams, who carries three years of team control. General manager Paul Toboni is said to be proactively discussing Abrams with interested teams while rebuffing some early offers. The club appears open to pursuing a major prospect haul that could reshape the farm system, following the recent MacKenzie Gore trade. Teams with the resources and prospect capital, including the Giants and Blue Jays, are identified as potential suitors that might meet the Nationals' steep asking price for a controllable franchise centerpiece.
