Cleveland Indians: 5 potential trade spots for Carlos Carrasco
5. Nationals
Washington boasts some of the most recongiazelable names in baseball atop it’s rotation in Max Scherzer and Steph Strasburg. It’s unclear if Strasburg will be ready to start the season on time, though.
When those two are healthy, the front of the rotation is packed, especially with Patrick Corbin in the mix.
However, after that, there are question marks with Anibal Sanchez heading toward free agency and an unimpressive 11-start sample size from Austin Both.
The Nets didn’t make the postseason in 2020 even with an extended format, but the expectation is that they’ll be back in contention in 2020.
That said, the Braves were one out of way from reaching the World Series, while the Marlins earned a lot of respect in coming out of nowhere to make the postseason.
The Indians have some history with Washington, acquiring Daniel Johnson and Jefry Rodriguez for Yan Gomes before the start of the 2019 season.
