If, and it’s a big if, the Washington Nationals are able to sign Bryce Harper, who’s made it known he’d like to return to D.C. if he’s in the Nats’ plans, there will still be decisions that have to be made, like how do they align the outfield?
The obvious, and easy answer, is to stick with Juan Soto, Harper, and Adam Eaton left to right around the outfield like they did most often this season.
With that alignment, top prospect Victor Robles, who missed significant time after suffering a hyperextended left elbow early last season, would likely start back in Triple-A after he got in only 40 games and 182 plate appearances in the minors in 2018, (with another 21 games and 66 PAs in the majors in September).
