Source: Nationals are hiring Tyler Coolbaugh from the White Sox.

Coolbaugh was the Sox’ minor-league infield/baserunning coach.

UPDATE: Last deadline, Toronto discussed deals for CJ Abrams and Zach Neto

@MitchBannon on it.

Not good for a couple reasons.
1. From a Nats perspective there’s some interesting guys in the next two classes.
2. Doing this too quickly would lead to a lot of problems.

NEWS: On Wednesday, MLB presented a new International Draft proposal to front offices at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas.

The ramifications would be massive.

No Shoki Oda
No Alfredo Sena
No Mairon De La Rosa

The proposal, analysis, and what it means going forward:

@TalkNats I mean a playbook for the player from day one after draft on not just during FA

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

I sometimes wonder if Boras corp has a hard cover playbook they give all clients. Not that it’s wrong/right for the player or good/bad for the game but it’s the same every time.

[Jon Heyman @JonHeyman]

Mystery team alert! At least two unknown teams are in the Skubal Sweepstskes!

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

@TalkNats Waste of ink to tailor it to teams it’s all the same 🤣

[Jon Morosi @jonmorosi]

There’s early interest in the left-handed relief market at the GM Meetings.

Sources say the Mariners, Phillies, Nationals, Royals, and Cardinals are among the teams engaged.

[Punchoutpitch @Punchoutpitch]

CJ Abrams and Zach Neto are “likely out of the question” for the Red Sox because they would require Franklin Arias, per @JeffPassan

@TalkNats I’m saying for Crews.

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

I wouldn’t trade at the bottom of his value. But I guess if the offer is enticing

[Spencer Nusbaum @spencernusbaum_]

With a slim supply of right-handed hitting outfielders, Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews has emerged as a popular trade target around the league, per sources.

More on this from the GM meetings in Vegas, free to read:

[federalbaseball @federalbaseball]

Dylan Crews is a popular trade candidate according to reports. With that in mind, I came up with three mock trades. If you have any Crews mock trades out then in the comments! https://t.co/2GGnKqexVy

@TalkNats Yanks seemed to want JY… maybe they part with Elmer? We know Toboni likes him… but I doubt the Yanks pay that much.

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

@TalkNats I think the only way it works is to find a player in a similar spot as him. Not meeting expectations but there’s upside remaining.

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

Nats eager to lock up young core🤔

[Robert Murray @ByRobertMurray]

Notes from GM Meetings:

- Braves not trading Ronald Acuña Jr.
- Padres interested in Nick Pivetta return.
- Giants looking for SP, bullpen.
- Phillies nuggets.
- Yanks’ hitting coach uncertainty.
- An update on Franmil Reyes’ contract in Japan. https://t.co/1PO8n3TXne

@NealCabral We’ll see… it’s a tricky one for sure

[Over-Slot Baseball @OverSlot_]

Another absolute gem leaving the Over-Slot family. Jack is an immense talent we were very lucky to have. Going to be a star in the industry.

Any former Rays scout gets a 👍🏻 from me

[Jack Eberle @jack_eberl12938]

Excited to announce I’m joining the Washington Nationals as a Pro Scout! Extremely grateful for everyone in the baseball community who supported me in realizing my dream. Can’t wait to get started!

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

@trippwhitbeck I agree for sure but college isn’t the MLB… imo it would take a pretty good package to get a deal done

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

@TalkNats That’s a joke

[Nationals Source @NationalsSource]

@GoblinCamp75 We’ll see

There’s like 10 things people said this ownership would never do that have happened in the past year and a half.

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

Adrian Morejon drawing interest as a starter but prefers to remain a reliever, per @WillSammon.
