Standing pat for the Nationals puts the winning by design theory in question and forces us more into the winning by accident realm. Moving a player to this position and backfilling those other positions and picking up some random #5 starter and a scrap lefty reliever is not a way to win by design.
what if the design is mostly homegrown talent at the positions with Werth filling a position our farm couldn't during this window behind a rotation that's very strong at the top through trades and homegrown talent? That seems like a reasonable plan
