LFG. Was on him early, before his crazy, seemingly season-saving HR binge, which essentially took all Nats off the trade market, followed by his (recurring) hamstring injury, which put them all back on it. I'm assuming he'll be asked to learn 1B, although with the balky hammy, who knows? Just don't stretch? He came up as a catcher, so he should be able to figure out the footwork.

No. He can't so I don't like this move much for this years team. He's a DH for next years team if or when JDM leaves.

Can Schwarber play 1st? Otherwise, you put him in LF, Verdugo in CF, Renfroe in RF and Kiké goes to 2B full-time. Duran stays as the 4th OF and to pinch run or they send him back to WooSox for playing time.

Lefty outfielder with zero games at first base? Don't really get it.

I’ll miss Aldo and hope he turns out great, but I like Schwarber.

Aldo is so far away that I get it, but it stinks to lose him
I do love adding a big boy bat. He’s athletic enough to play first

Hmm, Aldo, eh? Seems like a fair return. Though I'm curious to know how they plan to use Schwarber. Does this squeeze Duran off the roster?

Very strange. Having a great year at the plate, but strictly a LF and not that good a defensive one.
Never a good hitter in high leverage until this year, where his clutch splits are great. That suggests the Nats may have made some kind of tweak to him ... did they also teach him 1B on the side?
I like it if he can play 1B (and he is an ex-catcher). You'd platoon him with Arroyo or Dalbec, though.

Love it. Where does schwarber play? Dunno. But he hits. Cost of 1 minor league pitcher? Always (unless it is a no-doubt starter).
