The Nationals possess significant talent, primarily from the trade that sent Juan Soto to San Diego. Key players acquired include CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, and James Wood, indicating a bright future. However, the current lack of overall team talent necessitates selling at the trade deadline to acquire players for future competitiveness. Potential trade candidates include Nathaniel Lowe, Josh Bell, and Luis García Jr., all of whom have varying levels of performance and potential interest from other teams, along with some veteran infielders who might provide depth.
The Nationals' roster is highlighted by top-end talent acquired in the 2022 blockbuster trade, including CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, and James Wood.
Nathaniel Lowe, while disappointing this season, has a strong track record that may attract teams seeking left-handed power.
Josh Bell's performance has improved each of the past two seasons, suggesting he could be valuable despite being traded again mid-season.
Luis García Jr. has two more years of control remaining and his underlying metrics suggest untapped potential despite current average performance.
