That Adam Eaton trade is looking better and better every day.
Back in December, when the Washington Nationals acquired Eaton from the Chicago White Sox, the consensus was that Washington got fleeced. In giving up three top pitching prospects, general manager Mike Rizzo paid well above market value for a 28-year-old outfielder who has never been an All-Star. Even those who put a lot of stock in Eaton’s value as a defender weren’t sold on the deal, seeing as he’d be moving from right field -- where he was one of baseball’s best last year -- back to center field, where he last played in 2015 and graded out poorly.
