There's a lot more talk about this in the last couple of days. At least from media arguing whether they should or shouldn't. No real rumors or anything. I still think for whatever reason, the Nationals chances of resigning him lessen if they trade him. It does occasionally happen but for every Chapman there are a few Lester situations where the incumbent team trades their guy with plans to resign him in the offseason and he goes elsewhere. With that said, I think by keeping him the chances of them resigning him are worth more than whatever return they can get for 2 months of him. I guess it depends on if they think they have a good chance of re-signing him. I think he's probably gone, regardless. I have nothing to back up this opinion.
