Washington hangs up the phone. Trout is a great player, but all three of those players have seriously high ceilings. They are just prospects, but I will take the risk. All three of those players have the chance to be one of the best at their respective position. Nationals are a great team for the long haul and they, in my opinion, haven't even peaked. Trout would be a massive hit to their farm system and a lot of money added to the payroll. Also could the Nationals even afford to pay Trout? They just had to pay Strasburg $70mil in deferred money to make his contract work.
