I have no expectation the Nationals can resign Trea Turner in a way that leaves room to sign Juan Soto. And with next season guaranteed to be a labor mess and the age of this team making 2023 look really difficult...... The Nationals should go for it this season if competitive at the deadline. If not, they have to sell anything not bolted to the floor.
I would love if Trea Turner was a National for life. He is an awesome player. One of Rizzo's best move. But I'd rather flip him for prospects in 2021 than watch him take at bats for a team gunning for .500 in September.
the one thing the Nats have going for them when it comes to re-signing Scherzer, Turner, or cutting a deal with Soto is how much money is rolling off the payroll. After this season, there's Corbin for 3 years, Stras for 5 more, and one year of Harris at $8 million. An option on Schwarber, but the rest are arb or pre-arb. They also have the potential for a dirt cheap bullpen (Rainey, Finnegan, Clay, Suero, Voth at the core) saving a lot of middle dollar signings and a closer. They have ample flexibility on position player signings at below top dollar levels. That'll be tricky to do to be competitive, but not impossible.
