David DeJesus Traded to the Nats UPDATE - Traded to Rays

[Jaypers]

For a PTBNL, according to Danny Knobler and Jon Heyman.

Wonder how he fits in their outfield situation.

DeJesus is a nice player who has a very affordable option for 2014 of $6.5 million. Left field and center field are now completely open for the Cubs. Assuming Junior Lake takes one of the spots, I have no idea who the Cubs anticipate making their third outfielder. I think DeJesus is simply a 4th outfielder for the Nats, nothing more.

6.5mil seems like alot for a 4th OF. I liked Dejesus but understand the move. The Cubs are trying to open 40 man roster spots and obviously didn't see him in their future plans

Hmmmm, this trade doesn't really make a ton of sense to me either....I wonder what the Cubs will get in return

PTBNL = Harper?

This is a much better bench option than Hairston.

Is it Jae Hoon Ha time?

Dejesus doesn't do anything for me.. I would have traded him for a pb&j

Sadly its an upgrade to a dismal nats bench.

David DeJesus traded to the Rays. Excellent pickup for Tampa. As much of a fan favorite that Sam Fuld is, DeJesus is a far better player overall.

 

[Pine Tar]

Wow it really seems the Cubs just want to dump Dejesus and the Nats was just a pass thru team

 

[James52411]

I think the Nationals screwed up when they acquired him. Maybe the owner was upset about adding salary to a team that is going nowhere.

Still puzzled by Washington's involvement, unless, it was to somehow block the Braves from picking him up.
