Did you miss the series previews? Well, after what was supposed to be a brief vacation that ended up not being a vacation from writing because the Washington Nationals went crazy at the MLB Trade Deadline, the previews return this week.
Boy, what a week it’s been though. It started off with the Nationals getting swept in disheartening fashion by the Baltimore Orioles and ended with a four-game split against the Philadelphia Phillies while the team completed a wholesale sell-off at the deadline.
In their first series since trading fan favorites and expiring contracts alike, the Nats actually came out on top against their fellow sellers in the Chicago Cubs, winning the finale in walk-off fashion thanks to Yadiel Hernández.
