08:10 AM ET 05.24 | While Washington has been reported as a possible destination for Roy Oswalt, the odds are against such a move. Oswalt, whose contract includes a no-trade clause, has officially requested the Astros trade him to a contender. Whether or not the Nationals want to acquire Oswalt, it seems unlikely a deal could be struck. First, the Nationals would have to part with pieces of a farm system they have made a priority to stock. Second, they would have to take on Oswalt's contract, and Oswalt, 32, is owed $15 million this season and $16 million next year. Third, Oswalt would have to green-light a trade to Washington.
