The Washington Nationals' offseason remains focused on the question: "Will the Nats trade All-Star pitcher MacKenzie Gore?" While this question remains unanswered, the result will have ripple effects throughout the rest of the organization.
While the Nationals went out and recently added to their rotation by inking lefty Foster Griffin, we do not yet know how the organization plans to add to their crop of arms outside of him. The central place a Gore trade will change the landscape of things is the Nats' starting rotation. Gore is the team's ace pitcher, and his production will certainly be missed.
