Phil Rogers's post on Chicago Cubs | Latest updates on Sulia

With Theo Epstein clearly weighing a variety of possible trades involving Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza, it's worth considering that the Nationals could be an excellent match. In addition to a starting pitcher to make it easier to accommodate the limited schedule planned for Stephen Strasburg, the Nats are also looking for a catcher. Geo Soto, who is looking like himself again after arthroscopic knee surgery, could fill that bill. The Nats are also at least somewhat unsure about their long-term picture at first base, which could put Bryan LaHair into the mix.
