Nationals Set High Price as Teams Push for CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore

Teams are pressing the Nationals about trades for Abrams and Gore, but league sources say the price is “high.” Abrams, 25, just posted 19 homers, 31 steals and a .748 OPS in a thin shortstop market. Gore, 26, logged a 4.17 ERA and 185 strikeouts. Both remain affordable through arbitration, giving Washington leverage after the Harry Ford swap this winter.
