The trade in question would include any 4 out of Cole, Peacock, Hood, Norris, and Perez

Worst case scenario would be Cole, Peacock, Hood, and Norris

Losing Cole and Peacock would leave the Nationals with Meyer, Purke, Solis, Ray, Detwiler, and Milone in the system with a rotation headed by Stras, Gio, and Zimm

Losing Hood would suck, but the Nationals would still have Harper, Goodwin, and Taylor

Losing Norris would mean the Nationals no longer have any decent catching prospects, but I'm convinced Ramos is the catcher of the future as long as he doesn't get injured

I just don't see how the Nationals can lose this trade
