Would love it if the DBacks traded for him but I doubt they have any prospects KC would be interested in.

the nationals don’t have a farm system left to trade for anything , traded their top prospects for eaton
ThePriceWasRight
he’s an FA so the price isn’t as high as say Chapman was. it’s essentially Melancon 2.0

Chapman was a FA last year.
Herrera has one more year of arbitration.
sidewinder11
Both Chapman and Melancon were free agents this past offseason. The reason the price isn’t as high as Chapman is because Herrera hasn’t been a closer for nearly as long as Chapman had been, not to mention the fact that Chapman throws harder than anyone in baseball

Angelsfanforlife just said the Nats dont have a farm system left? Ironic.

Wrong! The Nat’s traded away Gioltio who At best is 3 guy in any rotation! He’ll be a big disappoint! Count on it! 5 years of Eaton was well werth it! Just like 7 years of J Werth was!! The only player the W Sox got that will be through trades that will pan out is Moncada. And as Sean Spicer would say PERIOD!!!

They still have Robles,Fedde and Soto.

Trying to lower the price on DRob.

Or…they actually have interest in Herrera?

Royals will ask for Soto. That’s a guaranteed proposal. Otherwise they will have to package something together since Robles is pretty much untouchable it looks like.

Package Cain and Herrera because of eaton’s injury

That could be a scenario for the Nats for sure.

Package could work. Depends on Royals’ asking price obviously. They can’t sell Herrera similar to how some of the earlier posts show. I’d expect something similar to what the Nats gave the Pirates last year for half a year of Melancon. Herrera has 20 career saves and 15 career blown saves after being a career setup man until now. The Nats are the team that have seen dominant setup men fail miserably at the closer role, so I’d be weary to think they’d buy too high for him.
