The Chicago White Sox appeared to be on the verge of sending closer David Robertson to the Washington Nationals. Now, those talks have stalled. Phil Rogers tweets the Nationals are unwilling to move catcher Pedro Severino. It’s Rogers’ opinion that the White Sox would part ways with Robertson and give some salary relief if Washington offers up their young prospect. However, the Nationals would rather trade Derek Norris.
Severino would be a nice pickup for the White Sox, as he’s one of the top 10 prospects in Washington’s organization.
