Rauch isn't the only one on the block. The Nationals are trying to trade players such as Felipe Lopez, Dmitri Young and Wily Mo Pena, but there are no takers right now because they are having off seasons.
Teams Interested In Rauch

Ronnie Belliard(Nationals):
The Nationals looked as good as they have all season on Friday night. Their complete performance and 10-0 win over the visiting Astros -- the team's largest margin of victory this season -- left D.C.'s boys of summer feeling good in a season prone to leaving a bitter aftertaste.
