Passan blown away by size of Soto trade haul (1:06)

The Nationals made a trade with the Padres. There is a time and a place for this.

Sources told Jeff Passan that the Washington Nationals are going to call up top prospect C.J.Abrams.

The San Diego Padres have a 21-year-old in their organization. The infielder is going to be on the injured list.

In eight games with Triple-A Rochester since the trade, Abrams is hitting.270 with two homers and six runs scored. He's hitting.314 with seven homers and 28 runs in Triple-A this year.

He appeared in 46 games for the Padres this season and had a.232 batting average with two home runs.

In the blockbuster trade that sent first baseman Josh Bell and pitcher Jarlin Susana to the Padres, the Nationals acquired left-handed pitcher MacKenzie Gore, outfielders Robert Hassell III and James Wood, right-handed pitcher Jarlin Susana, and first baseman/designated hitterluke Voi

Abrams, Gore, and Hassell were all drafted in the first round.
