Deal or Keep? What Trading MacKenzie Gore Would Mean for the Washington Nationals

First-time All-Star MacKenzie Gore is heading into the trade deadline as one of the most prized trade targets for teams all around the MLB. Fans around baseball are confused with Washington for even considering trading an ace-caliber left-hander under team control. With that said, this could be the best time to trade him. With Washington heading into another offseason of rebuilding, the team could receive a sizable return for Gore, thereby improving Washington’s farm system with much-needed talent and depth. This could be a franchise-altering move for a Washington organization that needs a change; however, this could hurt Washington’s chances of making the postseason soon.
