On today's edition of Locked On Nationals, Ryan is joined by Matt Weyrich from NBC Sports Washington, who covers the Nationals and the Capitals for the network and also grew up as a Nationals fan. Today's show, Ryan takes a trip down memory lane and discusses the 2021 trade deadline as the Nationals shipped off shortstop Trea Turner to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He asks Matt whether there was even a window open to extend the superstar shortstop, and if so, who botched what? Also, the Nationals have FINALLY made a move this offseason and there could be a 3B position dual. Who could win the battle between former 1st round pick Carter Kieboom, Jake Alu, and Jeimer Candelario? The Nats also obviously traded away superstar Juan Soto, and Ryan asks Matt about the package that the Nats got in return for Soto that truly sent shockwaves through the sports world.
