"We'll field calls. I will give you the cliche response that probably every GM in every sport gives - we'd be dumb not to listen. Right? It's not like we are calling other teams and looking to trade CJ. While we'll always listen, we're going to take it day-by-day and see what comes our way. If there's something that makes sense, we'll talk about it. But it hasn't even come close at this point in time"
"Following Gore's departure, the name that everyone has continued to circle back to has been 2024 All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams, whose long-term future within the organization appears to be much more of a curious case than Gore's was. While Gore was just 2 years away from free agency and was unlikely to re-sign given that he's a Scott Boras client, among other reasons, Abrams is a different story."
"He is represented by Roc Nation Sports, and we know that under previous leadership there were at least preliminary extension talks between Abrams and the Nationals. Of course, a lot has changed since then, and most importantly, the guy that would be presenting the idea of re-signing Abrams to ownership has changed from Mike Rizzo to Toboni, making things more interesting."
Washington traded lefty MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers and continues reshaping its offseason roster. 2024 All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams remains a focal point for the club’s future planning. Abrams is represented by Roc Nation Sports and previously engaged in preliminary extension talks under prior leadership, but leadership change complicates extension dynamics. The organization will field calls on Abrams and is open to listening to offers, yet the team is not actively shopping him and no serious trade scenarios have materialized. Abrams retains untapped potential that could influence whether the club pursues an extension or explores trade options later.
