Nationals acquired INF Cayden Wallace and a Competitive Balance A pick from the Royals for RHP Hunter Harvey.
Wallace, 22, was the Royals’ second-round selection from the 2022 draft class. He has spent most of his 2024 season at Double-A Northwest Arkansas where he has slashed .282/.350/.427 with three homers, 16 RBI, two stolen bases (in five attempts) and a 26/9 K/BB ratio across 140 plate appearances. Expect him to begin his Nationals’ career at Double-A Harrisburg.
