Enigmatic. That might be the best way to sum up Victor Robles’s major league career with the Washington Nationals.
Coming up through the minor leagues, Robles was hailed as one of the most talented young players in the system, not just for the Nationals, but all of baseball — remember, until right before Juan Soto was called up, Robles was continually thought of more highly.
Because of how highly rated he was, his name kept popping up in trade rumors every time the Nationals were linked with a player. JT Realmuto, Andrew McCutchen, Chris Sale, the list went on.
