Nationals evaluate prospects Coy James, Luke Dickerson, Caleb Lomavita for trades

With the trade deadline approaching on August 3, the Washington Nationals are assessing potential moves involving several prospects. Currently at 55-54, they are two games out of the third NL Wild Card spot. Among those considered likely to be traded are shortstop Coy James, middle infielder Luke Dickerson, and catcher Caleb Lomavita. James, selected in the 5th round of 2025, shows promise but has struggled with a high strikeout rate. Dickerson is noted for his power but has also faced similar strikeout issues in his performance at Low-A. Lomavita, performing well this season, might attract interest from teams in need of catching depth. The Nationals could be looking to balance roster needs with prospect development.
