The Washington Nationals and their scouting department have been analyzing and evaluation the Arizona Diamondbacks' wealth of middle infield options, according to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports.
Chris Owings, Nick Ahmed and Cliff Pennington can all play both shortstop or second base, and all three of them could be trade chips for the Diamondbacks by the time July 31st rolls around.
Arizona is expected to be a seller at the deadline, and will be looking for prospects in return for any deal they make.
