Summary

The Nationals coughed up a late lead and fell 6-5 in Philadelphia on a walk-off 3 run HR by Andrew McCutchen off of closer Brad Hand. Mark & Al put in perspective what this means for Hand's value on the trade market in addition to the "kick in the teeth" type loss they were dealt. (4:01) Twitter was filled with reports that the Nats are listening to trade offers for Trea Turner, who is a Free Agent after 2022. Should Washington consider dealing away their All Star Shortstop? (15:37) Max Scherzer is open to accepting a trade per the Washington Post in order to try and win another World Series. This leads to Al posing a contrarian idea Nats fans might enjoy. (24:25) Joe Ross had a solid return to the mound after a few weeks on the IL. What is his ceiling? (33:42) Listener submitted emails.
