The Washington Nationals are reportedly planning to explore trade options for shortstop CJ Abrams, according to recent reports. The 24-year-old infielder has shown flashes of offensive potential since arriving in Washington as part of the Juan Soto trade package in 2022.
Abrams posted a .246 batting average with 18 home runs and 31 stolen bases in 138 games during the 2024 season. His combination of speed and developing power makes him an attractive asset for teams seeking middle-infield help.
Several clubs in need of a young, controllable shortstop could emerge as potential suitors as the offseason progresses. The Nationals' willingness to listen on Abrams signals a possible shift in their roster construction strategy.
