In this episode of The Talk Nats Podcast, Dan Holmi dives into the Nationals' looming trade deadline situation, highlighting names like Kyle Finnegan, Michael Soroka, Nathaniel Lowe, and Luis García Jr. as potential trade chips. With GM Mike Rizzo’s track record of savvy deals—from flipping Hunter Harvey for a comp draft pick and top catching prospect Caleb Lomavita, to past steals like Lane Thomas for Jon Lester—Dan explains why fans should brace for short-term pain in exchange for long-term gain. The team might look worse in the second half, but if Rizzo hits on even one or two of these deals, the future could look a lot brighter, especially with teams like the Red Sox and Tigers lurking.
Dan also breaks down Davey Martinez’s fiery defense of his coaching staff, a viral quote that turned heads after a rough offensive stretch. While Davey says the “onus is on the players,” Dan explains why it’s more complicated than that—coaches can’t hit, pitch, or field, but they’re responsible for putting players in a position to succeed. The show wraps with a breakdown of MacKenzie Gore’s recent outing against Clayton Kershaw, showcasing how the Nats’ defensive miscues undermined an otherwise strong performance and illustrating the sharp divide between a playoff-tested Dodgers club and a rebuilding Washington team.
