I know at one point the rumor was they had a deal done for David Robertson that got up to the ownership level and Lerner vetoed. I can't remember who was in the deal now from the Washington side though.

So if it was indeed Soto and their entire org was fine with it except for the owner.. then Lerner had just saved himself from having to fire Rizzo. Imagine the backlash of trade away Soto for an RP, 6 months after a trade that everyone in the media pegged them as being fleeced on.
May 11, 20187 yr https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/heres-the-david-robertson-trade-the-nats-white-sox-were-reportedly-close-to-making/ This says the rumored deal was for Jesus Luzardo and Drew Ward. Luzardo is no Soto but would have been a great pickup too.
May 14, 20187 yr Yolmer Sanchez would be a trade target if I was the Mariners...they have to keep the Astros and Angels within sight.

Not sure if he was available during the Eaton trade, but would have been nice if we "settled" for Soto, Lopez, and Dunning. Just got called up to the Nats. They aren't playing around.

May 23, 20187 yr Willy Adames shows up about 45 min before opening pitch, goes 1-4 with a bomb vs Sale in debut.

May 24, 20187 yr We've got Michael Saunders Alex Presley Dylan Covey and Jake Peavey waiting in the wings.
May 25, 20187 yr Jon HeymanVerified account @JonHeyman FollowingFollowing @JonHeyman More Sources confirm: Red Sox are indeed letting Hanley go
May 25, 20187 yr 4 years, $88 million, 1.2 total WAR (although his move from SS to OF did hurt his defensive WAR immensely)

Not that I think they should but there's always that guy....
May 26, 20187 yr https://sports.yahoo.com/tampa-bay-rays-trade-alex-222646847.html Colome, Span traded to M’s for two prospects, salary relief
May 26, 20187 yr If Torres and Eloy dominate MLB the next 10 years, is Theo still a genius? Torres is on fire. 21 years old, misses a year hurt and he owns the AL.
May 26, 20187 yr Not to mention Cease might be the best pitcher in the entire organization right now. Jeimer Candelario for Wilson/Avila isn’t looking that great, either...http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=204340. Isaac Paredes is now Detroit’s #7 prospect and their heir-apparent at SS to Jose Iglesias. Although, to be fair, where were either of them going to play for the Cubs? Also let Christian Villanueva go for nothing to the Padres.
May 27, 20187 yr In retrospect, the cubs moves look absolutely horrible. They've lost Eloy, Cease, Jorge Soler, Candelario, Gleyber Torres ++? Just badddd trades. Torres is a star, Soler and Candelario are really learning how to hit and we all know about Eloy and Cease.
