Is César Hernández actually a perfect fit for the Washington Nationals?

Admit it. On a day when the Washington Nationals watched franchise legend Max Scherzer sign with the division rival New York Mets, you were hoping for the Nats to do something to soften the blow. Maybe they would go all in and sign Kris Bryant or Carlos Correa. Maybe they would step in and poach former Mets’ starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to help anchor the rotation. Maybe they would make every Nats fan’s dream come true and just give Juan Soto a blank check... with no deferred money. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for something splashy, you got stuck with the sad trombone.
