The Washington Nationals are ready to move some players
The Washington Nationals are not making the playoffs this season so it makes sense to start moving some players. The Nationals would need pitching back in almost any trade as the pitching staff that they have been running out this season is devoid of much talent. 1B Nick Johnson, OF Austin Kearns, OF Josh Willingham, IF/OF Willie Harris, 2B Ronnie Belliard and OF Lastings Milledge could all be moved without the Nationals losing much sleep. Lefty relievers Ron Villone and Joe Beimel could have some worth to contenders the rest of this season. If righty reliever Julian Tavarez keeps pitching all right the Nationals might be able to get something for him. The Nationals could get a King’s Ransom for Adam Dunn if they put him on the block but he’s signed for next season at a discount so they should really consider keeping him.
