CJ Abrams is reportedly upset about being shifted from shortstop to second base, a move the Nationals say prioritizes defense — especially since he’s not been a Gold Glover at the hot corner. Despite smashing career highs in homers and RBIs this season and showing speed on the bases, Abrams’ agent insists he’s committed to shortstop long-term and plans to beef up his defense there this offseason. The team’s strategy? Split time with Nasim Nunez at second while still giving him shortstop reps — a pragmatic call that puts Abrams’ personal preference against the organization’s defensive needs. He’ll have to prove himself on the field, wherever he plays, as Washington looks to optimize its defense while keeping one of its most productive bats in the lineup.
