That Strasburg deal…..I’ll say it again like I said back in May, there’d better be a massive health insurance policy attached to it. He’s a remarkable talent, but those mechanics have always given me pause.

Espinosa is a great defender, but man, the guy seemed like jerk. Not attending FanFest is just the most recent example of his purported arrogance and controversial personality. By all reports, him and Werth were the two main clubhouse organizers in seeing that Matt Williams was out the door at the end of 2015. Additionally, the dude always whined when he didn’t start and refused – very similar to Ian Desmond – to alter his swing in any way, no matter the situation. Whether it’s 0-0, 2-0, 3-1, 0-2, 1-2, Espinosa swings out of his shoes and always goes for the 800 foot, 6-run HR. Don’t bother trying to coach the guy, it’s clear he thinks he’s the best player on the field, bar none.

Espinosa was getting a physical in LA. The Nats and Espinosa knew he was getting traded.prior to the event.,

Am I missing something? Is FanFest Mandatory? Why shouldn’t he think he’s the best player on the field? Maybe that’s what got him to the ML’s. BTW… Majority of BIG Leaguers aren’t coachable.

He shouldnt think that because its a joke for him to think that at this level. Other levels, he may have been. Doing that now just hurts the team. Its not his job to be the best player and play hero. Get on base and stop swinging out of your shoes. Maybe thinking he is the best is whats preventing him from making actual changes.

THANKS Natsgm! Way to tell a Big leaguer what he shouldn’t

Players with tons of talent aren’t coachable because they don’t need it. That however doesn’t make up most of the league.

So what you’re saying is, he DOES change his swing when the count is 2-2?

If Robertson is traded to Washington, who are they going to get? I doubt Robles or Fedde. Maybe the Sox will ask for the ballpark naming rights. LOL

like Juan Soto and Joan Baez. Robertson doesn’t have huge value.

Haha, I think every GM in baseball would like a chance to fleece Rizzo and the Nats. He should spread the wealth to other teams. He already severely overpaid for a RFer who already proved in 2015 to be a horrible CFer. Maybe he’ll trade Bryce for Robertson and move Eaton to his preferred RF. Haha, Rizzo is a joke, he’ll be fired soon.

Hmm…… The same GM who pulled off the trade for the decade? Can’t win them all. Turner and Ross for a bag of balls was HUGE!!!!!!! Turner for #mvp

At the time, it seemed SS signed his extension too soon with the thin market this off-season.
But with the injuries, I doubt he would have topped that.

This is just a bad move by a bad organization. We don’t need to make it difficult, it’s really just that simple.
