At a certain point, Mike Rizzo will have to face the media. And by the tone on social media, that appears to be a pretty daunting task.

Earlier in the season, it was reported that Rizzo tried to get an extension done with Juan Soto. But after the young outfielder turned down over $400 Million, a trade became a likely scenario.

Now, the San Diego Padres have reaped the benefits of having the right prospect mix to satisfy Mike Rizzo. And Nationals fans might be shaking their heads for a long, long time.

Things are getting wild at the Trade Deadline.
