Showcasing Lopez prior to a trade? Maybe part of a deal for Jay Bruce?

Could definitely be to showcase him, but perhaps for Chapman, rather than Jay Bruce.

Ya that seems a little steep for Bruce, depending on how much salary the Reds ate I suppose.

Lopez is worth more than a rental player, if it’s for a relief pitcher it would be Miller.

Possibly, however, two years ago the Orioles rented Miller for Eduardo Rodriguez who was at the time listed on the top 100 prospect list at close to the same spot at Reynaldo Lopez is now.

Clutch hitting has got to be a higher priority than bull pen help for the Nationals. Case in point, bull pen pitches shut out ball for 10 inning today, before giving up a solo home run in the top of the 18. Nationals had chances to win before that, getting multiple runners on base. Couldn’t bring them in.

I doubt that’s the reason. That would be the first time I have heard of such a reason.. Nationals are a contender so they are calling him up to help out either in rotation or bullpen.

That would be great!

I agree -wouldn’t be include unless to land BIG FISH

Nats are definitely showcasing Lopez, I think the Yanks might want him in a package for Chapman, maybe Lopez and Difo

We need hitting help, not bullpen.
