Post columnist Thomas Boswell thinks the Nationals could get a solid return by trading the red-hot tandem of Alfonso Soriano, possibly to the Yankees, and Jose Vidro, possibly to the Mets, prior to the trade deadline. In one sense, everything has worked out far better than the Nats could have hoped in March. The Nats would prefer that both players be part of their future. But, if not, both now command the highest possible trade value. In a month or so, when trades get made, the Nats may have some elegant leverage. For example, the Yanks need an outfielder. Their GM remembers Soriano's stellar days as a Yank. Across town, the Mets need a second baseman. GM Omar Minaya remembers Vidro fondly from Montreal. Familiarity breeds trades, not contempt. Jim Bowden's spring disaster may yet become his summer opportunity. --
