People can’t complain about the awful pitching and then complain when we make moves to fix the awful pitching. You have to give to get, and Garcia’s breakout has been a great story, but he’s a platoon bat with a year and a half of control left, and we have a replacement ready to go in Abimelec Ortiz. It’s a trade I make every single time, and other smart teams would do the same

Nats get RHP Jake Bird, RHP Ben Grable, RHP Yovanny Cruz, RHP Jack Cebert for Garcia Jr.

Grandma is BROKE 😭😭😭😭

[Mark Zuckerman @MarkZuckerman]

Luis Garcia Jr. is still flying with the Nats to Philly this evening, but he spoke as if he expects to be officially told he's been traded at some point. "It's a mix of both sad and happy. This is a new chapter in my career. 50-50 right now."

She let her intrusive thoughts win

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

Dave Jageler just said it perfectly on the Nats radio call.

“You can’t beat the Atlanta Braves playing like this.”

Poorly played series for the Nats. On the verge of being swept in Atlanta and going into the trade deadline on a 5-game skid.

[Mark Zuckerman @MarkZuckerman]

Blake Butera explaining why Luis García Jr. didn’t play today: “Was told something was really close, nothing official yet.”

[Spencer Nusbaum @spencernusbaum_]

Blake Butera said he’s been told a trade is close. Nothing official yet, as of a minute ago.

perish nigga.

[ChiseledAdonis @ChiseledAdonis]

What the hell did I just stumbled upon

[Spencer Nusbaum @spencernusbaum_]

Nothing finalized between Luis García Jr. and the Yankees but it is trending that way, per source. He just went into the tunnel. @Joelsherman1 mentioned link.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring right-hander Freddy Peralta in a trade with the New York Mets, sources tell ESPN. Rays get their starter, who joins Drew Rasmussen, Shane McClanahan and Nick Martinez in one of the American League's best rotation. First on news was @WillSammon.

[Kev @klwoodjr]

Nats can’t even get their payroll over 100M

Makes me sick to my stomach
