The 2025 MLB Trade Deadline is now just one week away, and with the Washington Nationals currently trying to avoid being one of the complete worst teams in the league, it appears as if they will yet again be sellers. While this has become a common approach for the club at the deadline over the last few years, it wasn't always this way.
Back in the 2010s, you could always count on the Nationals to make at least 1 or 2 moves at the deadline each year, which led to the additions of guys like Sean Doolittle, Ryan Madson, Asdrubal Cabrera, and others who ended up being valuable contributors over the years.
