One such deal is facing a hiccup before Tuesday’s last call, as teams are not in agreement with the usage of outfielder Lane Thomas.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nationals-players-trade-block-2023-deadline" rel="noopener">Thomas is slashing an incredible</a> .367 against lefties in 138 plate appearances, and a solid .258 against righties in 299 at-bats. The 27-year-old is having easily the best season of his six-year career, already eclipsing his RBI total at 54 with 60 games still remaining.</p><p>He will certainly be an asset to a contending team with his skillset, but many are <a href="https://theathletic.com/4727653/2023/07/27/mlb-trade-rumors-mariners-reds-twins/" rel="noopener">not valuing him</a> the same way that Washington has. That may be a bargaining trip to try and lower the price in a trade, but teams are reportedly seeing him as a platoon player instead of an everyday star, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.</p><p>The Nationals have faced nothing but<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nationals-news-davey-martinez-erupts-another-ejection-after-puzzling-call" rel="noopener"> doom and gloom</a> since winning the World Series in 2019. They essentially mortgaged their future to have a shot at the title with many large contracts that had to be moved, and it worked well for them to get the job done.</p><p>They are paying the price now for the victory, with over 200 losses in the past two seasons, and cruising for another 100-loss year this year. Thomas is one of the few bright spots on their roster, and they will hope to fetch a return for his services to help rebuild the franchise.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
