Well after today, wouldn’t shock me to see the Nats want to get rid of Pap. He wouldn’t be eligible for the playoffs for the Angels, but he could help them get there.

I would rather have Newcomb close games rather than bring in Pap and that horrible contract

I’m quite sure if the Angels want him, he’s theirs for the last week. I don’t think his option vested, so he only has to be on the team until next Sunday. I’d take that risk if I were the Angels.

In the trade from PHI to WAS, his option automatically vested, however his salary for 2016 was reduced from 13M to 11M.

Oh, in that case no thanks if I’m the Angels. Not worth it.

After Papelbon’s dugout “exhibition”, the Nats would probably take a six pack and an autographed photo of Rick Reichardt for Pap and call it a day.

I think the Nats should just send Pap home for the last week and try to somehow get rid of him in the offseason. Even given his talent, can’t imagine there will be many suitors, but if you’re the Nats, you have to try. Harper is your best player, by far. First, you’ve got Harper’s insinuation the other day that Pap is going to get a Nats player hurt with the way Pap is throwing at opposing teams. Now this. Pap’s gotta go.

If they want to get anything for him – as opposed to cutting him, I feel they will have to downplay this situation as much as humanly possible, and sell him for 6 cents (not 10) on the dollar in the off-season.
If they send him home entirely, it may blow their only chance of this being even semi-swept under the rug.

All depends on how Harper truly feels about the situation.
Does he truly view Pabelbon as a brother who lost his cool? Or does he wish to never deal with Pabelbon again?

Huston Street took a pretty serious shot to the nuts while shagging flies some years ago, so you’d have to say he’s had more than his share of bad luck in that region of his anatomy.

Papelbon seems like a really obvious choice to get them through the week, then immediately trade in the offseason.
