According to Spencer Nusbaum from Washington Post, the Washington Nationals will probably be without the third Baseman Paul Dejong until the All-Star break. This message is worrying because the nationals fight for a slow start in a closely competitive NL cost.

This not only hinders the chances of the nationals to recover and compete in a close national league, but also hurt the ability of nationals to act and receive assets in return. This summer Dejong is a likely retail candidate, not only because of his team-friendly contract of only $ 1 million, but also the value that its power brings in the field.

Dejong was traded by the Chicago White Sox to the Kansas City Royals in the middle of last season. In Chicago, Dejong collected 18 homes, but his power immersed in the larger Kauffman Stadium. Since no Homeruns are hit at the beginning of this season, it will be difficult for nationals to move it to the deadline if he does not come out of the goals when he returns to the return of injuries.

The scary incident when Dejong was hit in the face caused a broken nose. There is a chance that Dejong will return earlier than the all-star break, but manager Davey Martinez told reporters: “I think they said about a month before he can actually do activities.”

At the moment it seems that the Dejong market has cooled down, but with a hot start when returning from an injury, Dejong could land on the deadline on the deadline day.
