Minor league arms traded in last 5 years still in minors: And the guys we got in return (Eaton, Doolittle) were key parts of the 2019 title team. But it took years to get there for these guys: these were players who were traded 4-5 years ago. Summary: well, you’d have a pretty nice start to a rotation right now with Giolito/Luzardo/Dunning. Wells has done basically nothing for this team, while Adams has at least continued to pitch in the majors and does beg the question … why couldn’t he do for us what he has managed to do for Seattle and San Diego? Pitching in middle relief for San Diego in 2021. Pitched effectively for Seattle’s bullpen in 2019, then traded to San Diego in Aug 2020 for a package of players.
He was subsequently flipped by Pittsburgh in 2018 for Keone Kela, and debuted for Texas in late 2019. Taylor Hearn: was the 2nd of 2 prospects in the 2016 Pittsburgh/Melancon trade.He hovered in the top prospects list for several years, had TJ surgery, debuted with some success in late 2020 for the White Sox, then was flipped to Texas in 2020 for Lance Lynn, and is now featuring in the 2021 Texas rotation as their 5th starter. Dane Dunning was the 3rd of 3 ranked prospects in the 2016 Chicago/Eaton trade.This is the kind of trade i wish we made less of you should be able to grow relievers from your farm system, not trade away future #2 projected starters for a combined 3 seasons of varying production. Madson and Doolittle served as valuable back-end bullpen pieces, though Madson did not make it to our title-winning season and Doolittle lost his closer job by 2019 and is pitching elsewhere. Luzardo rose to be one of the best prospects in the game ahead of the 2020 season, now Oakland’s #2 starter as a 23yr old. Jesus Luzardo: traded to Oakland in 2017 (along with Treinen and Neuse) to acquire Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle.Giolito is now the #1 starter for the White Sox and was an all-star in 2019, but it took him several years and multiple mechanical changes to get there. Eaton gave the team 4 injury-filled years and a combined 2.7 bWAR. Lucas Giolito Traded to Chicago White Sox (along with Lopez and Dunning) for Adam Eaton in 2016.These are listed in order of MLB impact of the traded away talent, not chronologically (this list does not include all the MLB arms we traded away in the 2018 missing the playoff purge this is mostly about trading away prospects). But, choices have been made over the years and some of those choices look better or worse in retrospect. In the end, you’d rather have a title than a prospect. But nearly all of these trades contributed in one way or another to the 2019 title … so I have to temper my criticism. Part of me does this as a “wouldn’t it be nice if we had kept them…” motive, since not all of these trades were really ones I would have made. I thought I’d be interesting to check in with some of the arms we’ve moved over the past few years.
The team has traded away more than 20 prospect pitchers in the last 5 years, ranging from recent MLB debutants to rookie-league wild-cards. The Nats are well-known for their heavy emphasis on pitching in drafts, and then for using said pitching depth as “currency” to acquire talent to build their roster.
