Wire Taps: Max Scherzer talks free agency; Nationals’ bullpen blows another start; Craig Kimbrel open to smaller deal

Good morning.

Instead of writing a normal intro to Wire Taps, today’s article will feature the Mad-Libs style intro that will begin every Wire Taps for the rest of the season (or until the Nats sign Craig Kimbrel).

Well, that felt predictable. Unsurprisingly, [INSERT NATS STARTER] was phenomenal, and the offense got it done mainly thanks to [ANTHONY RENDON/JUAN SOTO/ADAM EATON/VICTOR ROBLES/SOMEONE ELSE].

But who would’ve thought of this, the bullpen came in and blew the lead! Today, it was [INSERT ANY RELIEVER BUT SEAN DOOLITTLE HERE] who came up short in the [7th/8th/9th/10th], throwing their [3rd/4th/5th]-worst pitch for a [BALL/HOMER/DOUBLE] to lose the game.
