The Washington Nationals continued their wheeling and dealing ways on Thursday afternoon, this time completing a trade with the reigning champions to bolster their chances at repeating. For a trade deadline season that has already seen the Nationals part ways with multiple assets, this one has the potential to be one of the most valuable for the team they traded with.
Earlier today, reports had begun to surface that Alex Call was an under-the-radar trade candidate that the team had begun to take calls on. Now, with just under an hour to go until the deadline hits and everyone still waiting on potential MacKenzie Gore trade news, the Nationals have sent their outfielder out west to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
