Speaking with reporters in the nation’s capital earlier this month, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo discussed a dual path approach to the 2021 MLB Trade Deadline, explaining that which path the club took in the end would depend on how the team performed in the lead-up to this year’s July 30th deadline.
“We’ll have our lines in the water on the buy side,” Rizzo explained, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman.
