The Washington Nationals are reportedly planning to explore trade options for shortstop CJ Abrams, according to a report from Baseball Now. The 24-year-old infielder has been a regular in the Nationals' lineup since being acquired in the 2022 trade that sent Juan Soto to San Diego.
Abrams, a former first-round pick, has shown flashes of offensive potential with his speed and developing power. The Nationals' decision to listen to offers comes as the franchise continues its rebuilding process, evaluating which pieces fit their long-term competitive timeline.
Multiple clubs in need of middle-infield help could express interest, though no specific suitors have been publicly linked to the Nationals' asking price. Washington's front office has previously indicated a willingness to move established players for prospect capital as they reshape the roster.
