Orioles send: 2B Kolten Wong $9,200,000 (2023) RP David Robertson $6,000,000 (2022)
Nats send: Manual Partida (prospect) Ryan Jensen (prospect)
Orioles accept.
I've had Wong on the block for some time and the Nats (among other teams)kept checking up on him but haven't really gotten too many formal offers. Perhaps the return is light for a starting 2B (albeit the large salary) but I'm building my team for next year and have Jeter Downs coming up hopefully mid-season so this clears the way for him and also get to shed some cap liability for next year. Jensen hasn't shown his first round pedigree yet but I still think he can get better control and find a niche for himself, if not as a backend starter but as a late inning reliever, which is very valuable in this league.

Nats agree. Need a 2B in case Luis Garcia of the Nationals isn't ready.

I understand the salary dump aspect, which makes sense for the rebuilding Orioles. - The Nationals build some needed depth, through leveraging the team's ability to take on salary. - I am a big fan of Jensen (I may have once tried to trade for him - lol). He is likely so be a strong RP (or closer?). - The O's are building a soon-to-be competitive franchise. - This looks to be a good trade for both teams.
