The Andrew McCutchen situation took an interesting turn today. At the end of the day on Monday, it looked like the Washington Nationals had moved away from McCutchen, and were closing in on a deal for Chris Sale. That changed this morning, when the Red Sox swooped in and acquired Sale, leaving the Nationals without another one of their top targets.
They have since moved back to focusing on McCutchen, although we're back to the same old hard ball negotiations where the Nationals refuse to deal Victor Robles, and the Pirates insist they don't even have to trade McCutchen.
