Hassell’s MLB Future in Limbo | San Diego News
Description
Robert Hassell III, once a top prospect traded in the Juan Soto deal, finds himself designated for assignment by the Nationals — a major shift for a player who once dazzled with All-Star honors and Futures Game appearances. After a disappointing 2024 season with just a .215 average at Triple-A, the Nationals, now in playoff contention, can’t afford to wait for him to turn things around. With a week to decide whether to trade, release, or send him to waivers, Hassell’s future is uncertain — possibly even returning to the Padres, who originally sent him to the Nationals. It’s a tough spot for a once-promising talent, but baseball’s business moves fast.
