Exciting news, sounds like James is experiencing many different aspects of baseball life. Safe travels!
Lots of James chatter on the interwebs right now. That has to be unnerving. Or exciting. Or both. Best of luck!
Thank you @JCG. Definitely more unnerving than anything for us parents but he seems to be handling it fine. Went 4-5 last night with a double and this home run 430 to left center field.
He has a beautiful swing.
Looks effortless.
...And James is still a Padre after the Hader trade. Woo hoo!!!!
His and another prospect's name (maybe more) is in the discussion with a trade, Nats for Soto. That would bring him closer to family!
Literally every prospect is in a discussion for a trade for Soto - according to someone.
On MLB Central, they just mentioned prospects that could get Soto and the one they all want is ............. James!!!
Poor guy is still just trying to beat the big sisters. He is just PTM's baby!
Welcome to the Nationals!
The life of a Professional Baseball player. Adjusting to a "new" organization. Fortunately. Scott C. the player agent has "inside" knowledge.

- OF Robert Hassell III
- SS C.J. Abrams
- OF James Wood
- RHP Jarlin Susana
- 1B Eric Hosmer (per the New York Post)
Wow!
Way to go Paula! Closer to home. And he will play with Seths pitching coach. Look up the Whitewall Ninja.
Hosmer to Nats? Thought he said no to a Nats deal?
One comment just made is that this trade might "fast-track" some of this talent to MLB.
I love James Wood part of Soto trade. The league thinks highly of James! He’s the next Aaron Judge.
Nats ST complex close to us. My new team!
