Abrams the Leadoff Guy; Second Half Expectations; Keith Law Talks Dylan Crews

Episode 67, FULL SHOW -- Right before the All-Star Break, Nationals Manager Davey Martinez made the move to slide SS CJ Abrams up to the top of the batting order, and so far, it has paid off. CJ Abrams has been hot since moving into the leadoff spot, landing him an NL Player of the Week Award (award was announced after the taping of this podcast). Grant & Tobi analyze CJ Abrams' recent breakout and his outlook as the leadoff hitter potentially for the remainder of the season; As the Nats jump into their post All-Star Break schedule, Grant & Tobi discuss which Nats they are watching to have key performances and development in the proverbial second half of the season. Plus, which players they expect will be increasing their trade value as the trade deadline approaches toward the end of the month; Keith Law covers the MLB for The Athletic and joined Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier on 106.7 The Fan to talk about the Nationals addition of Dylan Crews, and take a look back at the haul from the Juan Soto trade that took place just about a year ago.
