"The big news around baseball yesterday was the Nationals swinging a trade that sent star lefty MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers in exchange for a package of five prospects headlined by Texas's 2025 first-rounder, infielder . President of baseball operations Paul Toboni hasn't been shy about the fact that the team remains in a rebuilding period after five years near the bottom of the standings under GM Mike Rizzo, and the deal indicates Toboni doesn't see things turning around in the next two years."
"Reporting has indicated that the team has also fielded offers for infielder and center fielder Jacob Young. Abrams has three years of team control remaining, while Young has four. Nats fans will surely be watching the trade market for those players with significant interest in the run-up to Opening Day, as Toboni's decision on whether or not to hold a player like Young could serve as a sign for just how long he expects the team to remain out of contention."
The Nationals traded lefty MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers for five prospects, including the Rangers' 2025 first-rounder and an infielder. President Paul Toboni frames the franchise as rebuilding after multiple poor seasons and expects no turnaround within two years. The club has fielded offers for Abrams and center fielder Jacob Young; Abrams has three years of control and Young has four. With Gore and Freddy Peralta off the market, available starting pitchers for trades are becoming scarce. Trade attention is shifting toward position players, with Brendan Donovan likely available from the Cardinals and ongoing interest in fits such as Isaac Paredes for Boston.
