If Bryce leaves, the Nats are seriously lacking in power. Rendon's career high in HRs is only 25, Zimmerman is getting older each day and the jury is still out on whether Soto will maintain his numbers. I'll call it here first, if Bryce leaves, there will be a lot of angry fans of Nats constantly losing 3-2 games.
We lost a lot of 3-2 games with Bryce too. Heck, there was one stretch last year where it felt like we got shut out 4-5 times in a month (no research done to back this point up). That's the point, with Bryce in the lineup we were not guaranteed to put up 5 runs/game. If we were, he would be getting his $400M.
