Washington Nationals spark controversy by moving CJ Abrams off shortstop during a career-best season. Could this bold decision fractured the relationship between player and club? Ryan Clary breaks down the surprising timing of the position change, questions if Abrams’ future in Washington is in limbo, and explores how the move might impact his trade or extension value. Key topics include the absence of a Seaver King call-up despite his hot streak in AAA, Nasim Nunez’s defensive role, and the Nationals’ evolving infield makeup. Plus, is a revenge start brewing as MacKenzie Gore lines up against his old team?
