Giants' Push for CJ Abrams Stalls; Nationals GM Not Rushing Trade

Trade talks between the Giants and Nationals for All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams, 25, have stalled despite San Francisco's aggressive pursuit. Abrams, who hit 19 HRs and stole 31 bases in 2025, would have shifted to second base if a deal had materialized. Nationals GM Paul Toboni confirmed shopping Abrams but stated he views him as his shortstop and no trade is imminent, suggesting a high asking price. With three years of team control, a trade at the deadline or next offseason is considered more probable.
