That hapless franchise is resigned to losing star outfielder Juan Soto, who landed on the trade block after rejecting a $440 million contract offer. The Nationals see Walker as a desirable long-term replacement. Walker, 20, launched four homers in his last three games to build further trade interest. But he is trying to ignore the speculation centered on him and dynamic Springfield Cardinals teammate Masyn Winn. “I don’t really think too much into it,” Walker told [URL='http://mlb.com/']MLB.com[/URL]. “I just feel like that’s going to be too much to think about during the season when it’s already tough. Whatever happens, happens. I just want to play my game. Masyn and I, people have asked us that before, but we really don’t think too much about it.” Walker, who is widely ranked as one of the Top 10 prospects across minor league baseball, is hitting .305 with 24 doubles, 12 homers, 15 stolen bases and an on-base plus slugging percentage of .905 this season. Winn joined him at Double-A Springfield after starting the season at advanced Class A Peoria. Overall Winn is batting .304 with 24 doubles, nine homers, 28 stolen bases (in 32 tries) and an OPS of .867. He is a shortstop with blazing speed, a rifle arm and additional potential as a pitcher.
