Jacob Young

He's a rental as well.

So we mentioned Jacob Young too.

That could be even just like a platoon option type of thing.

Yeah.

Andres Chaparro.

Andrew Alvarez, Brad Lord, Brady House, Cade Cavalli, C.J. Abrams, Clayton Beater, Daylon Lyle, D.J. Herz, Drew Millis, Dylan Cruz, Jacob Young, Jake Irvin, James Wood, Josiah Gray, Kee Bear Ruiz, Nassim Nunez, and Orlando Revolta.

And amongst the names that are now gone that are pretty noticeable, obviously you've got Mackenzie Gore.

You've got Robert Haslow III, both former first-round picks.

This is a group that is so forward-thinking that I think with where the Nats are today, you kind of have to think to yourself, what is going to happen down the road and what kind of other changes could be coming? Do they think about trading a CJ Abrams this off season? They certainly could at this point, they admitted that they, yeah, they kicked the tires on it this last off season.

I'm sure they kicked the tires on it at the trade deadline as well.

And do they move off of who know, who knows other guys, like maybe Dylan Cruz or a Jacob young or, There are some crazy things out there that I think are very likely to happen.

I think that's a different conversation for a different day.

I don't know who that player's going to be.

Jacob Young is cool, but is Jacob Young going to go for a ton? You know, I...

Again, I don't know who that player is.

I don't have a perfect answer for you.

he's as bad as he was last year.

Jacob Young.

But that's a little too defensive heavy.

I kind of

The first one I want to make is with the Washington Nationals.

The Nationals have a center fielder in Jacob Young, who I tend to like.

And I think that it's Paul Taboney who drafted or was part of the war room that was involved in Elmer Rodriguez.

This kind of makes sense, right? You know, he was there when Rodriguez was drafted.

They did also trade Elmer, so I guess you could make the argument that Taboney maybe doesn't like Elmer as much as the public, but he got better with the Yankees.

They need pitching.

Elmer for Jacob Young feels like that one makes sense.

I know I mentioned previously that that's kind of an overpay, but where we kind of have to overpay at this point.

No. Jaren

Duran, Stephen Kwan, Denzel Clark, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Jacob Young.

So, I mean, like I said.

I

But Jackson, Churio, Ian Happ, I don't see him beating them out for that award, which is not to say that he's still not worthy of recognition because it was a tremendous year.

Now, those who would ask, how is Dalen Lyle a gold glove finalist and Jacob Young isn't? Well, they break it down by position.

It's not just outfield, left field, center field, right field.

Jacob Young maybe wasn't as good as he was the year before when he was a finalist in center field, but he did not drop off so much that he wouldn't be worthy of of consideration.

That's just a deeper position, and that's going to be won by Pete Crow Armstrong, I'm quite certain.

So he wasn't one of the top three center fielders, but that doesn't mean that he was a lesser defensive player or less worthy than Dalen Lyle, even though Lyle's the one who got the nomination this year.
