The Washington Nationals have slowly made some improvements over the last few years, but they're still not in a position to contend for the World Series. As a result, they've gained some steam as a potential seller at the trade deadline this season.

One of the players who's turned heads as a potential trade chip this season is shortstop CJ Abrams. Abrams has two additional years of arbitration left on his contract after this season, so he's much more than just a rental.

He's also in the middle of a career year that's seen him hit near .300 for the first time in his career. He's seemingly turning a corner in a big way for the Nationals, including a three-hit game on Wednesday night. Abrams clubbed two doubles early in the game on Wednesday before smashing a grand slam late.

Who could make the blockbuster move for Abrams this season?
