One of the Nats top prospects Cade Cavalli makes his first start since 2022 after a long road recovering from Tommy John surgery. We preview that, and also get into how BAD this team is right now after they have given up 80 hits in our last 4 games. On top of that, we have given up 54 runs in their last 4 games. OH MY GOSH.

Over this past month with Mike DeBartolo at the helm, the Washington Nationals have found a new direction thanks to analytics. We discuss what we have seen from this fresh new approach, and why it could take some time. We then discuss the historically bad series against the Brewers this weekend as the Nats ran into a buzzsaw.

The Washington Nationals ultimately decided to hang onto ace MacKenzie Gore, but Ryan feels like this may have been the wrong move. He explains why he feels that way, and why he's already pre mad about future decisions coming. We then breakdown the Kyle Finnegan trade as he was shipped up to Detroit, and the Nats got a solid return for the closer. The BEST return of yesterday was when the Dodgers traded for Alex Call, and the Nats got a LEGIT prospect in return.

IT'S MLB TRADE DEADLINE DAY! Ryan believes that the Washington Nationals will hold onto ace MacKenzie Gore, but he believes they should trade him. He explains his side here to begin the show. The Nats MIGHT be shopping 2B Luis Garcia Jr... What? Ryan thinks he would do it, but the timing of this is frustrating. Lastly, we discuss the Nats trades from yesterday as he's REALLY excited for one of the prospects coming to DC.

Right now, the Washington Nationals have yet to make any significant trade with MacKenzie Gore, Kyle Finnegan, Michael Soroka, and Josh Bell. Ryan discusses the 3 guys he would be upset with the Nats over IF they don't trade those vets. We also jump into the latest MacKenzie Gore news as the New York Yankees are in play for the southpaw now.

If MacKenzie Gore were to be traded by this deadline, the team that makes the most sense is the Chicago Cubs. The Nats want a package surrounding 3B/2B Matt Shaw, but the Nats will need MUCH more. We also discuss Josh Bell's quiet, but interesting trade market. Which teams make the most sense for the slugging DH?
