Over the last couple days, the Washington Nationals have been linked in trade rumors to Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen. Yesterday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network reported that Victor Robles is the prospect Pittsburgh is focusing on getting back in return, should a trade happen.
At just 19 years old, Robles has become one of the top prospects in the Washington Nationals farm system. According to MLB Pipeline’s current rankings, Robles is the top position player and the second overall prospect in the system behind right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito.
