Just because the Washington Nationals sold at the trade deadline, and are heading toward their first 162-game losing season since 2010, doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty to watch out for in the remaining 50 games of the season. Honestly!
For starters, plenty of the new young talents on the team have begun to impress.
Take Saturday, for example. Josiah Gray, acquired in the Max Scherzer-Trea Turner trade, dazzled in five innings of work, striking out 10 batters and generating 20 swings-and-misses in the start, 12 of those coming on his hard curveball. His stuff looked electric.
