Nats trade Langerhans
The Nationals acquired infielder Mike Morse from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for outfielder Ryan Langerhans.
Morse, 27, will be assigned to Triple-A Syracuse. A third-round selection of the White Sox in 2000, Morse is a .300 career hitter with 18 doubles, three home runs and 37 RBI in 107 big league games with Seattle from 2005-08.
At the time of the trade, Morse was batting .312 with 14 doubles and 10 home runs in 66 games with Tacoma of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League. His 52 RBI rank 10th in the PCL.
Langerhans, 29, hit .212 with 11 doubles, four triples, nine home runs and 34 RBI in 176 games with the Nationals from 2007-08.

Why in the world did they trade Mike Morse for a player with lower stats and a lower batting average? Not bringing Mike up in place of any of the duds that they have brought in this year is, in my opinion, one of Seattle's typical mistakes. Trading Mike Morse is a big mistake and will cost them fans as well as games.
