MacKenzie Gore might be one of the most popular names on the trade market heading into the MLB Winter Meetings. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan , the Washington Nationals have discussed trading Gore with other organizations. However, will the Nationals really trade the 26-year-old pitcher?
According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi , Gore's chances of being traded from Washington are "moving a little bit upward" as the hot stove heats up. Gore would likely require a big return for the Nationals, as the acquiring team would have two more years of control.

In 2025, Gore had a 5-15 record with a 4.17 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. Even though Gore had a lower ERA in 2024, his performance was much better this year, earning him a spot on the NL All-Star team. It would hurt Washington to lose his pitching, but now is the perfect time to maximize his value.
Gore is coming off a strong season with team control, so a trade could help the team's rebuild if an extension isn't around the corner. Washington will need a major haul to move Gore, and the reality of a trade is becoming increasingly obvious as the offseason moves forward.
