Nationals slugger Luis García Jr. says he feels “both sad and happy” as Washington moves closer to completing a trade to the New York Yankees. On Sunday, with the Nationals dropping their fifth straight game, García is scratched roughly 30 minutes before the team’s 4–2 loss to the Atlanta Braves, according to reports. The timing of his scratch comes as the trade process advances and García prepares for a potential change of teams. García described the moment of being taken out of the lineup as uncomfortable, saying it was “weird” and that he went to the dugout while teammates looked on. He spoke through a translator. While the outlets describe Washington’s recent losing streak and García’s reaction to the transition, they do not provide further details on the trade’s final terms or when it officially becomes official. The reports focus primarily on García’s personal response during the period immediately surrounding his expected move to the Yankees.
