With just a little over three weeks to go before the July 31st non-waiver deadline, the Washington Nationals and GM Mike "Run-Silent" Rizzo are keeping quiet when it comes to their wants and needs, but that won't stop the rumors...
The non-waiver trade deadline is just three weeks away. The defending NL East Champion Washington Nationals, who have been hammered by injuries this season, are 3.0 games up in the division over the New York Mets. Thus far this summer, they've been mentioned in connection to a couple big ticket items like the Cincinnati Reds' flamethrowing reliever Aroldis Chapman and Colorado Rockies' shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, if either actually becomes available.
