In discussing whether the Washington Nationals would be buyers or sellers at the upcoming non-waiver trade deadline, GM Mike Rizzo told 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies that he would try to evaluate the team objectively and decide how to move forward, though he said that there were plenty of examples of teams that have made up the ground the Nats would need to make up in order to win the NL East for a third straight season.
“I look at recent division winners that have dug themselves out of big holes like we’re in right now at this time of the year,” Rizzo said.
