As Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline approaches, multiple contenders have addressed major needs, but some of the biggest names available have yet to move.
Earlier this month in Milwaukee, there was a frantic dash in the visiting clubhouse as the Washington Nationals gathered their belongings, preparing to catch the team bus to the airport for the all-star break. Outfielder Lane Thomas walked by a few of his teammates on the way out. “I’ll see you guys in five days,” he said. And then he paused, and added, “Hopefully.” Thomas is still a National, but his deadpan comment underscored an uncomfortable reality.
For the second straight season, Thomas’s future with Washington is in limbo ahead of the trade deadline. Thomas enjoyed the best season of his career in 2023, with a first half that made him worthy of all-star consideration. His numbers have dipped this season, but he remains an intriguing trade piece ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. “I feel fine,” Thomas said Tuesday. “There’s still games to play, whether it’s here or somewhere else. I got to still be ready to play every day like I can.
