I think the package is one that Washington would be willing to part with, especially if Upton is willing to sign an extension before reaching free agency. My concern, however, is how Rodriguez fits into the mix. Unless Washington turns around and deals either Desmond or Lombardozzi in a separate deal, I don't see what Rodriguez's role could possibly be - or where the room on the roster would come from for that matter.
