Summary
The Nationals make a surprising move by trading underperforming outfielder Robert Hassell III to the Pirates for cash or a player to be named later — a low return for a once-top prospect who never lived up to his hype after joining the team in the Juan Soto deal. With Hassell designated for assignment and cleared waivers, the Nationals are actively reshaping their roster, signaling a bold push toward the future amid roster shakeups including Matt Krook’s free agency and Drew Millas’ injury.
