Ah, the baseball trading deadline is an exciting time of year regardless of whether your team is buying or selling. As for the 2021 Washington Nationals, they are sellers. All out sellers. Sellers and rebuilders from what it looks like.
Were just a couple names to have been moved, like Brad Hand, who went to the Toronto Blue Jays, or Max Scherzer who went to the Los Angeles Dodgers, getting rid of expiring contracts could have meant the Nationals were just retooling.
