Carl Edwrads Jr. 

Much like Harvey, Edwards Jr. sits atop the Nationals’ bullpen as one of the only serviceable relievers this season. Edwards Jr. is 31 years of age, and will be a free agent in 2024. His stats have been solid, he’s tied with Josiah Gray for the best ERA+ on the team. 

Edwards, again much like Harvey, is an obvious choice to be dealt by the deadline. At 31, he will likely be too old to stick around once Washington is back in the mix. Even if he is kept around, he’ll more than likely jump ship once he hits free agency. It would be nice to keep Harvey and Edwards, considering they carry Washington’s bullpen on their backs, but one of them should be gone come August.

Possible Destinations: Same as Harvey, plus many more
