The Nationals didn’t hold back at this year’s trade deadline. Josh Bell, MacKenzie Gore, and Nathaniel Lowe stayed put despite the trade buzz around them leading up to the deadline. The surge sufficed to pull his season OPS above .700, a big turnaround considering how rough his start had been. Gore was one of the biggest names being tossed around at the 2025 trade deadline, and when rumors swirled about him, it wasn’t surprising. He survived the trade deadline, but he may not survive the offseason.
