Jon Morosi goes more in depth on the rumors that the Nationals are interested in Charlie Blackmon. According to his sources, the Rockies and Nationals have already had preliminary conversations about a deal to send Blackmon to Washington. Nationals GM Mike Rizzo has publicly denied interest in Blackmon, but almost everything a GM says this time of the year should be taken with a grain of salt.
In the same article, Morosi also talks about Boone Logan being a good fit for the Nationals, Cubs, and Giants. The Cubs are probably out of the conversation now with their acquisition of Mike Montgomery yesterday in a four player trade that sent Dan Vogelbach to the Mariners.
