The Washington Nationals' trade of Juan Soto marked a significant shift towards rebuilding after their 2019 World Series win. While Soto's departure was tough, the team received promising talent in return.
Mackenzie Gore has emerged as the rotation's ace, CJ Abrams made the All-Star team, and James Wood impressed in his rookie season. However, Robert Hassell III has struggled, facing injuries and a decline in performance.
Despite this, Hassell's recent play in the Arizona Fall League shows potential for a turnaround, raising hopes for his future with the Nationals.
