The Washington Nationals flipped their script before the trade deadline, trading away key players instead of adding firepower — and they came out ahead. They shipped Curtis Mead to Boston for promising lefty Connelly Early, who’s poised to anchor their rotation. In a bold move, they sent Luis Garcia Jr. to the Yankees for four right-handed arms, addressing bullpen needs. They also traded Christian Franklin to Baltimore for minor league pitcher Joe Glassey, a sleeper with elite strikeout potential. Finally, they sent Foster Griffin to Cleveland for a haul including top prospects Will Dion and Josh Hartle, plus outfielder Nick Mitchell — all while keeping their playoff hopes alive with a smarter, more strategic rebuild.
