It's never too early to start thinking about deals, even if major trades rarely happen before July. Let's start with an obvious hole.
The need: A closer for the Nationals
The Washington Nationals need a closer. Heck, some would argue they need a whole new bullpen. Entering Thursday, they ranked 27th in the majors in bullpen ERA, 20th in win probability added and 16th in strikeout percentage minus walk percentage, while five different relievers have picked up saves. It's enough to make a modern manager's head explode.
With a commanding lead in the terrible NL East, the Nationals have time to sort through the guys on the roster.
