The Nats are actively participating in a sell-off, trading players such as Chafin, Garcia, and Soroka. Chafin's unexpected success turned him into an asset, while Soroka's departure demonstrates a positive outcome despite unmet expectations. The return players include prospect Ronny Cruz, who has potential, Christian Franklin, noted for his baseball instincts, and Jake Eder, a recovering college starter. Finnegan was also traded, with new arms, Josh Randall and RJ Sales, joining the bullpen amid ongoing transitions within the team's pitching staff.
"Chafin was found money, a DFA'd player who turned it around for the Nats and ended up part of a deal. Soroka didn't pan out exactly as planned but the fact he was sent out for anything means his signing was a win."
"Ronny Cruz - the type of lottery ticket you want to get. Decently high draft MI pick that's super young and has looked ok so far. Talent heavy but this is for Mike Soroka remember."
"Christian Franklin - reads like the type of player the Nats have avoided. Good baseball instincts, he’s a smart runner, makes good reads in the outfield, has patience at the plate."
"Finnegan GONE! He's ok, but even the Nats knew he couldn't really be counted on. Will be missed in the continuing non-literal decimation of the pen."
