Washington Nationals’ General Manager Mike Rizzo told reporters this winter that he was comfortable trading highly-regarded prospects Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez and 2016 draft pick Dane Dunning to the Chicago White Sox for Adam Eaton because of the starting depth in the organization.
“We still have our rotation intact from last year,” he explained. “We haven't touched that and we still feel that we have a good amount of Major League caliber pitching depth behind it.”
“We're fortunate enough, we trade from a position of depth,” Rizzo said.
