Verdugo is a respectable LF. Hits .233. Soto has always been a below average fielder. Soto looks gone from the Yankees, so RF is a zero. Judge is a great hitter and a good fielder. First thought: Yankees needed to offer enough to get Lane Thomas, who can play RF and who is a better hitter than Verdugo.
When the Nats buy a slugging 1B, like Pete Alonson, and find an ace pitcher, Nats will be fine. Meanwhile, Cashman has put together a bad team. Cole plus a bad bullpen.
