Rumor: Rays and Nationals Talking Trade

by Ben Cook on December 3, 2007

ESPN.com's Keith Law is reporting that the Tampa Bay Rays have sent Elijah Dukes to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named. I realize Dukes has been a huge distraction and apparently has some serious problems with controlling his temper but the Nats could be getting a HUGE bargain here. Dukes hit only a buck ninety last year but he also smashed 10 home runs in only 52 games. I'm guessing the Rays decided they'd had enough of the talented but troubled prospect.
