Dylan Crews Emerges as Popular Trade Candidate for Washington Nationals

Former No. 2 overall pick Dylan Crews has surfaced as a popular name in trade talks, with the Seattle Mariners among potential suitors. The 24-year-old Washington Nationals outfielder batted .223/.289/.374 with an 82 wRC+ across 109 games in 2026 after adjusting his mechanics in Triple-A to elevate the ball. Featuring strong defensive range and club control through 2028, acquiring Crews would likely demand a major league starting pitcher.
