Wood and Cavalli are with the Nats & we hold 3rd WC by a game on 7/23. What should the Nats do?

Tank! Sell any vet not under control after 2025. Restock. Target is a long term rebuild.

Selective selling of FAs you can replace internally. E.g., Floro for Ribalta, Law for Ferrer, etc...
6 (35.3%)
Promote appropriately but otherwise hold tight and give the squad a chance.
4 (23.5%)
Try a Candelario trade in reverse to plug a weakness (1B) - say Made and Rutledge
3 (17.6%)
Go for it. Lots of CFs coming. Trade a Lile / Hassell / Vaquero and go for WC.

I could see this team having 5 positions filled by players on a 2 war or better pace or by a callup who should play at that level (Abrams, Garcia, Winker, Wood, and the pair of catchers). There still would be DH, 1b, RF, and 3rd base. If 2 of those players turn their seasons around (say, Thomas and Senzel), it's not that tough to patch 1 more spot without impacting the system. The patch might even be from AA.

I agree they don't trade a top 10 prospect*, but they don't have to.

* yoyo could become tradeable if House locks down 3rd. The easiest spot to get by without a prospect is 1B.
