I cringed a bit on the comment about finances affecting who we got in return. Helps a bit we got two Top 50 prospects.
Can only hope the tens of millions saved this deadline help the team afford Juan Soto when his contract discussions get into territory not before seen.
I think we all know that the Nats are on the hook for the deferred payments of Max's contract while playing in a Nts uniform. Roughly it was 12M left for the rest of the season. If there was a package offered up for Max better than Ruiz straight up where the Nats had to eat the rest of his contract, I'd honestly be surprised.
