I think it’s an end of an era for the Nats as Mad Max might have pitched his last start. He was kinda the reason I jumped on the Nats bandwagon, even picked up a Jersey shirt. His and Bryce swag help set them up for a good run.

My only wish is this, don’t trade him to the fucking dodgers or Yankees

Nats have heard your request and declined.

Last night was wild in between Scherzer, Turner, Schwarbs, Daniel Hudson/Brad Hand and Russell Westbrook leaving.

Wild this is how it ends. Scherzer will never have to pay for another drink in DC again with his performance the last few years. Probably the best free agent signing in DC history. But all good things come to an end eventually. I'm just glad it seems LA/SD got into a little bidding war and we got some good prospects for him. We won a title, now we gotta rebuild the farm system.

I'll miss Trea Turner but I'm happy we went this route instead of letting him walk ala Harper/Rendon. Not sure we'll see anyone go for 3 cycles in a Nats uni again.

Hand and Schwarber leaving, possibly Trea Turner too, Starlin Castro pulled a Guice, and Strasberg is having season-ending AGAIN.

It's over.

It's definitely over, but better to be over with one title instead of no titles. Thanks to the guys for everything.

Stras - I love the guy but we're just gonna eat a few more years of that deal - nobody will take that contract without us giving up some serious assets. Really sucks this is how it played out after his dominance in the Series.

After that run, how could you not pay Stras? But that injury, he’s probably never be the same again.

Fuck the dodgers.

We don't win it w/out Stras. But he just never going to be the same again.

What the Nats did yesterday just ripped my heart out. I don't think I can go on w/ them. Maybe as time goes on I can come back but management has shown they simply do not care. They don't want to pay anyone who can swing a bat. Soto is next. They're not going to pay him.

As far as Max goes I'm sorry but you do everything you can to have that guy retire a Nat. He is still one of the best pitchers in the game.

These guys that we got back, idk. I'm just too pissed off to even care.

I'm an O's fan so my interest is different I don't mind moving on from talent but I think with what the Dodgers are getting the Nats could have gotten a bit more. No.1, No.2 and No. 17 ranked prospect in the farm and then an unranked prospect? I think they should have gotten another top 50 at least for two all stars including one HOFer still playing at a high level

Yeesh. I agree that the Nats don't seem to take care of their own but we'll see in regards to Soto. Kid is young as can be and he's already near MVP-contender status - they would do well to lock him up now before he keeps driving the price up.

Max deserves another shot at a title and he isn't gonna get that with us. He played out his contract and now trading him will pick us up assets that can be used to rebuild the team to be a contender again. It was a no-brainer imo. Love the guy - hope he goes into the HOF in a Nats uni - but this was a smart business move. The Nats have the worst farm system in the game and that's the price they paid to win a title. It has to be rebuilt if you expect to contend again.

Dodgers sure are ready for a run.

Meanwhile as a Mets fan I'm sitting here like, do something please

Big…I like him so much more than wimpy Kris Bryant. He’s the better player on that Cubs roster

Zero chance they sign Soto. Zero.

It's possible, but if they don't I expect multiple prospects in return.

How you make those moves and not sign him
