Serious question. They won the division 4 of the 7 years he was here. How many do you think they would have won without him?

Who decided bWar is the end all of metrics?  He has a career OPS+ of 139. That’s not terrible.

I don't think that 27.4 WAR is bad either. I think they absolutely would have made the playoffs in 2016 without him (OPS+ 114). He was really good in 2017 (156), but that team was stacked and won going away and he missed a third of the season. Hell, in 2014 he had an OPS+ of 111 and played in only 100 games. So maybe they make it without him as well that year.  2012? He was the Rookie of the Year, so I guess..

I never said he wasn't a good or even great player. And I seriously go back and forth as to whether I want him to re-sign. But he's getting a lot of mileage off of 2015 and that is getting farther and farther in the rearview.

He’s number 6 in career OPS for current players. The WAR numbers are weighed down by his defense and how they rate that. I’m kind of skeptical about how they rate defense. We will see how he does. Makes sense to me they didn’t want to sign him and moved on.

Provided by 1 of our readers. Someone(s) took a private jet leaving Las Vegas and went to West Palm Beach and someone(s) are now loading from West Palm Beach to Washington DC? Was told it was a Nats executive who was in Vegas yesterday but don't know who else was on the jet.

Working on it. Last I had at 4 PM yesterday which I reported on @1067theFan was that #Nats were absolutely still alive. Makes sense with what @TalkNats2 provided as a strong connect dots situation.

I predict Harper will be in West Palm when the rest of the position players arrive.   He's coming back and they will trade Eaton for a LHP.

They arent going to sell this low on Eaton. Hes going to be here for at least the first two months of the season. And that's only if Robles tears it up in the minors.

Agree. No need to trade Eaton now if Harper returns. By the trading deadline, things will be clearer all around.

Not to mention this team's history of injuries . . .

If Bryce really wanted to prove he's a DC guy he'd tweet something like:

"Apparently a government shutdown also shuts down the hot stove."

imagine the CONTENT that could be aggregated around that

i don't know, we're in february and i'm reaching
