As far as Max goes I'm sorry but you do everything you can to have that guy retire a Nat. He is still one of the best pitchers in the game.
These guys that we got back, idk. I'm just too pissed off to even care.

Yeesh. I agree that the Nats don't seem to take care of their own but we'll see in regards to Soto. Kid is young as can be and he's already near MVP-contender status - they would do well to lock him up now before he keeps driving the price up.
Max deserves another shot at a title and he isn't gonna get that with us. He played out his contract and now trading him will pick us up assets that can be used to rebuild the team to be a contender again. It was a no-brainer imo. Love the guy - hope he goes into the HOF in a Nats uni - but this was a smart business move. The Nats have the worst farm system in the game and that's the price they paid to win a title. It has to be rebuilt if you expect to contend again.
