The future begins Friday when the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs open a three-game series in Washington, D.C.
Both teams cashed in the present Thursday when they began exchanging veterans for prospects as the Friday MLB trade deadline approached.
Washington was poised to make perhaps the biggest splash. The Nationals began the day by sending closer Brad Hand to the Toronto Blue Jays for 25-year-old power-hitting catcher Riley Adams.
Then late Thursday night the Nationals acquired right-handed minor league pitcher Aldo Ramirez from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for outfielder Kyle Schwarber. Washington shortly followed by reportedly moving righty reliever Daniel Hudson to the San Diego Padres for a pair of prospects, speedy infielder Jordy Barley and right-hander Mason Thompson.
