Freddy Peralta Trade Suggests Nationals Retaining MacKenzie Gore

MacKenzie Gore is increasingly likely to make the Nationals’ Opening Day roster, especially after the Mets traded for Freddy Peralta, reducing the number of teams seeking starting pitchers. Despite speculation about trading Gore due to his limited team control and injury risks, the Nationals’ high asking price has deterred potential suitors, including the Yankees. Other teams like the Giants and A’s may be interested, but as Spring Training approaches, a trade seems less likely. Holding onto Gore could either enhance his trade value if he performs well or pose a risk if he suffers an injury.
