Did you hear something? I think it was the other shoe dropping.
On Saturday, outfielder Elijah Dukes got into a little brouhaha during a Dominican Republic game; on Monday the Tampa Bay Devil Rays traded Dukes to the Washington Nationals for minor-league left-hander Glenn Gibson.
The Nats are in a good position to take on high-risk, high-reward players. If Dukes doesn’t get his act together, it only cost them a pitcher who is a long way from the big leagues. If Dukes does figure it out, Washington could have quite the player on its hands.
