2021 Trade Discussions/Rumors/Deadline - buy or sell

[Smithian]

We've had quite a few here. We've had fans of John Patterson, Jason Bergmann, Elijah Dukes, Ryan Church (), Ryan Zimmerman and, if you can believe it, Julian Tavarez.

I still think someone on this Board should have reached out to law enforcement about the Bryce Harper super fan. Possible stalker. I was creeped out by his posts.

BH34Natural, how could I forget about that clown

[Air Desmond]

Can we count Strasburg into the future plans? He’s having surgery that some pitchers don’t bounce back from. I fear his arm might be shot.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Was that Boss Dealwiler? Oh, I totally forgot about Kurt Studzuki. Still really bizarre to follow one dude around.

Studzuki was a sock puppet account I think for a regular who liked to bust folks by absurd idol worship. I have a hunch that Boss Dealwiler was MDS.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

The fans of one player often come across as either being family members or psycho stalkers.

actually, there was one really good one who I guess knew Dustin (?) Hood from his home town who had some nice posts.  Hood was that spectacular athlete who turned down an Alabama football scholarship to sign with the Nats but never made it.  I think Saban kept the offer open for him and in his mid-20s went back to Alabama.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

And didnt Balester's dad post here?

father in law. Spinman.  Bally, Bally's wife, and Spinman used to drop by.  Spinman continued to post updates on Bally's adventures after he left here.

Strasburg is coming back this season to pitch in the playoffs

"Wangshington Nationals" IIRC (wasn't me, although I am the proud owner of a XXXL Wang mumu I got for $5 at the team store)

Chien Ming Wang

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I seem to recall Mike O'Connor's dad coming by a few times, although O'Connor's giving up a first-pitch HR to the Marlins did not make for a hospitable environment here and I don't believe he returned after that.  C'est la guerre.     

[English Natsie]

This one individual following isn't so strange - I nearly gave up on the Nationals, in '09, when Felix Klutz left the ground crew - no-one hauled a tarpaulin like Klutz. But I got over it - after all, a tarp's a tarp...

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

The tarp derp last August was pretty spectacular, I'd say that the field has been left in pretty incapable hands

Something to grow into.

Everyone was blaming the rank and file for that debacle.  That was a failure of leadership! 

[Kurt Studzuki]

I might be a meme poking fun at the other accounts getting blasted on here, but I did predict our World Series win!

Two year contract = two year window. Let's go boys!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I've never disputed the insights of Studzuki in any matter,  whether it is Arab-Israeli peace negotiations,  Covid response, or use of relief pitchers.  You know, stuff of comparable magnitude.

[DPMOmaha]

Suzuki had some pretty big moments on the field. I’ll always that homer vs the Mets and the one in Game 2 off Verlander that opened the floodgates.

[Natsinpwc]

Yan Gomes was The Man, not Suzuki.  ...

Oh cmon,  Don't care about athletes poliactial views. 

[sixthree175]

Oh cmon, Don't care about athletes poliactial views.

I don't think Suzuki knew he was making a political statement.  That's how dumb he is.

[Natsinpwc]

I don't think Suzuki knew he was making a political statement.  That's how dumb he is.

I don't care how dumb they are either.  I mean we have had Werth and Harper.  Those guys are not rocket scientists either.  Just play well and don't beat women or commit other crimes and I am with you.

More of an offseason question, but what would we have to trade to the Padres in exchange for Hosmer and Gore?

Good question.  Personally, I wouldn’t take on hosmer unless it’s either straight up for Corbin or we get abrams or hassell instead of gore.  Gore’s value is really down.  I’d give them Harris ($8M for 2022) for hosmer and one of those two guys.

[Slateman]

Abrams is pretty unrealistic. About the way I could see that is they got something good in return.

Personally, I'd trade Robles for Hosmer, Hassel, and one of Gore, Morejon, or Weathers

[UMDNats]

I would do that too but that's because I think Robles is a lost cause at this point.

[varoadking]

Robles is 3KEspi v2.0...

[Mattionals]

Robles is 3KEspi v2.0...

He strikes out less than Espinosa did, so I'd call him 2.5KRobles. Or at this point we can just call him "Auto-Out".
