The Washington Nationals are officially on the board on the trade front this offseason. After taking over as the new leading man in the front office for the organization, Paul Toboni has now made his first big boy trade as the head decision-maker.
Just minutes ago, the Nationals decided to address one of their biggest needs on the team, acquiring Top 100 catching prospect Harry Ford and right-handed pitching prospect Isaac Lyon in exchange for lefty pitching prospect Jose A. Ferrer. This is a deal that has massive implications for the Nationals moving forward, but a very worthwhile opportunity by Toboni and the front office.
