The Texas Rangers have traded first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to the Washington Nationals in exchange for left-handed reliever Robert Garcia. Garcia had an impressive season with 75 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings, while Lowe contributed significantly to the Rangers' offense with a .265 batting average and 16 home runs in 2023.

This move comes shortly after the Rangers acquired slugger Jake Burger from the Miami Marlins, indicating a shift in their roster strategy. The Nationals, looking to bolster their lineup, see Lowe as a valuable addition after several losing seasons.
