Call Forwarding

 Alex Call was the last domino to fall - over to the Dodgers for a couple arms. As noted before Call was actually turning out to be good but if there was one place the Nats didn't have space for a player like Call it was OF where they want to play Wood and Crews and cycle through whoever else they want to look at.  Keeping a 4th OF is a luxury on a team like that.    Sean Paul Liñan was a solid looking arm for High A that the Dodgers pushed to AAA to see if they had somethi...

 I did go on vacation again, yes.  I also will again the second week in August.   The Nats have begun their sell-off and it's mostly gone exactly as you could hope   Chafin and Garcia and Soroka out.  Chafin was found money, a DFA'd player who turned it around for the Nats and ended up part of a deal. Soroka didn't pan out exactly as planned but the fact he was sent out for anything means his signing was a win.  Luis Garcia is at least a decent arm with ...
