Should the O's target Steven Souza?

[weams]

The Washington Nationals have a crowded outfield and Steven Souza doesn't look like he'll be able to break in anytime soon without an injury.

Souza is a big guy as a good arm who might be able to play RF or DH for the O's. He's been a fantastic minor league hitter and 26 next season, he's needs an extended chance in the big leagues.

Do you think he's available and if he is, who would the Nats want for him?

I have watched Steven Sousa and I think he's great. I think that we could get him for Ryan Webb.

It seems that if OH starts a thread about an outfielder, it promptly leads to another team making a deal for or signing him. Just in last two days with Joyce, Morse, let's see if it holds for Souza.

If we could get him for Ryan Webb I would think this would have been done already. Maybe MacFarland would land him though?

What about MacFarland and Matusz? I'd like to get rid of Matusz almost as much as I'd like to get Souza.

I would think a .900 OPS guy is going to take more than a bullpen arm. That said, he is the type of prospect I would be looking to get back for Bud Norris if we were to trade him. Norris and Matusz? Would anybody make that deal?

Maybe. I'd be up for that. I think Sousa would play well in Camden Yards.

Washington does not want a one and done pitcher. They need a shortstop, a second baseman and a reliever who won't give up five runs. When it matters.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post indicates in tweet that the Nationals and Rays have an agreement in place involving Souza in the event that the primary deal is consummated. He says that Tampa “will spin players” to D.C. if the Myers trade goes down.

Well, Souza will now be playing in Tampa Bay as he is part of the three team SD, TB, Washington, 11 player deal that takes Will Myers to SD. Man, I know, I know, but our offseason has been sooooooooo boring. Kansas City makes half a dozen major moves, we make one minor move.

Are you questioning the honor of the regime? I will report you sir. All HAIL and salute!

Everyone keeps saying wait until the offseason is over. But big difference between this offseason and last is quality players left. Apples and oranges.

I like DD but definitely am scratching my head so far.

How about some inspirational music of John Philip Sousa instead.

That was a heckuva trade by the Nats - getting the guy who was picked 14th in the last draft. I thought you had to wait a full year to trade a 1st round pick.

You are correct. He is technically a "player to be named later."
