Wire Taps: Danny Espinosa for Wade Davis?; Nationals clubhouse superlatives; Ryan Zimmerman out with "sore something"

The Nats have three more games until the All-Star break, and they're kind of falling backwards into it - not full speed ahead, but not totally slipping. They have three games to change their momentum - this should be interesting.

Here's the news from New York.

Rumors: Danny Espinosa for Wade Davis?
As the trade deadline approaches, Danny Espinosa is steamrolling, and his trade value is skyrocketing. Meanwhile, Trea Turner is still waiting in Triple-A Syracuse. Could the Nationals potentially flip Espinosa for someone as dominant as Wade Davis?

Ryan Zimmerman out with "sore something"
Dusty Baker refused to divulge where the injury was... except for noting that it wasn't in the foot or the shoulder, where Zimmerman's worse injuries had previously occurred.
