The Washington Nationals are flipping the script under Paul Taboni, churning through

players like it's a rebuild remix.

Their making roster moves almost every other day, from small trades to waiver grabs, and

yesterday they snag infield their Curtis Mead straight from.

The White Socks, by trading a minor leager.

They didn't just claim him off waivers because American lead teams had priority on him,

so the gnats jumped the line to lock him in quick.

At 25, Mead's a former top prospect with killer minor leak hitting, and now they've

got the roster flexibility to let him prove it in the majors.

Fans and analysts are digging this venture capital vibe, low risk bets on pedigree talent

that costs next to nothing, just a 40 man spot and maybe a throwaway prospect.

Sure, not everyone sold, like that jorbid vivas deal where they gave up a solid pitching

prospect for a utility guy, but Taboni seized the bet.

Potential.

This hyperactivity could smash the record for most players used in a season 71 by the

braze last year, with early grabs like Joey Wimmer and others already on the opening

day squad.

It's a sharp pivot from the Mike Rizzo era, when they stuck with their core instead

of this constant wire frenzy.

If a couple of these penny stock swings connect, the gnats could build something real from

the churn, turning short term flux into long term fire for.

The nation's capital squad.
