## Resource

The Washington Nationals are crushing it offensively this season, leading the league in runs and slugging, but their pitching woes and low payroll are creating a tough trade deadline puzzle. With just four games behind a Wild Card spot, they’re holding onto key stars like James Wood and CJ Abrams—but fans and other teams are eyeing breakout talents like Luis Garcia Jr., whose power and bat-to-ball skills are lighting up the park, and Curtis Mead, dominating at first and third with a career-best season. Plus, pitcher Foster Griffin, recovering from Tommy John surgery and time in Japan, is having a career year on the mound. All this makes the Nats a fascinating, high-stakes trade target before August 3rd. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
