I still have a hard time believing the Nationals could be in position to acquire a pitcher with Roy Oswalt's pedigree, but apparently, I'm wrong, because the Oswalt-to-DC rumors keep coming. The Nats have plenty of depth in the farm system, have a need for a top-line starter to go along with Stephen Strasburg and are definitely in more of a position to content than the hapless Astros.
So maybe this is actually going to happen. If so, it would be an example of the Nationals being buyers on the trade market, which is big in and of itself. Could you have imagined that at the start of this season? I couldn't have.
Regardless, we'll try to keep track of everything Oswalt in this stream. Where there's smoke, there's fire...
