Every football fan knows that it?s much more than a game. Sure Drew Sample Jersey , it?s something that most players play from the time they were kids when it was fun, but the reality is that professional sports is a business. As a matter of fact, it?s a BIG business.With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, every owner wants to see their team do the best they can on the field. While rebuilding years might be rough for a franchise?s fans, just imagine how rough it is for the owner. They are footing the bill for the entire roster and in some cases the stadium that the team plays in as well.There is nobody on the ?inside? of pro football that doesn?t look ahead. This has to be done to get the drop on other teams in hopes of landing that game-changing free agent or potential Hall of Fame draft pick. One of the things that are done quite regularly is to figure out who is staying and who is going.If a general manager can predict the future properly he just might be able to create a dynasty on the field and be remembered forever. This includes making educated guesses on who will stay with their current team and who will be leaving. Any inside information that could be found would be key in determining the fate of these players.We aren?t privy to this type of inside information but here are some good bets on who is moving on next year and who is staying put.
Erick Fedde will step on the mound Friday night for the eighth time in his major league career still in search of his first win. He might get it if he can replicate his recent success against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Fedde will try to help the Washington Nationals stop a three-game losing streak on Friday night in the second of a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies will send Nick Pivetta to the mound for his second straight start against Washington.

Facing the Phillies last Saturday, Fedde (0-3 Germaine Pratt Jersey , 5.32 ERA) had the best outing of his brief major league career. He went six-plus innings, giving up three runs on eight hits while inducing 13 ground balls. However, the Phillies scored two runs in the eighth inning in a 5-3 win.

?I thought Fedde did a tremendous job,? Nationals catcher Spencer Kieboom told MLB.com after the game. ?I couldn?t be more proud of him. He did, he mixed all five pitches ? sliders, curveballs Ryan Finley Jersey , changeups, cutters in, fastballs. He did a good job. I thought he attacked hitters and at the beginning, we were kind of (nibbling), but after that he really attacked.?

Fedde, 25 Renell Wren Jersey , has pitched at least five innings in all four of his 2018 starts with the Nationals.

Saturday?s game was his first career appearance against the Phillies.

Pivetta (4-6, 4.06) also had a solid outing without a win last weekend. On Sunday night, Pivetta stayed in the game after a rain delay to complete five innings in Washington. He gave up eight hits but just two runs and notched seven strikeouts before the Nationals rallied against the Philadelphia bullpen.

The right-hander has a 5.81 ERA and opponents are hitting .301 against Pivetta in five June starts, but he has allowed just four runs and recorded 20 strikeouts in his last two appearances (12 1/3 innings).

Pivetta was acquired by the Phillies from Washington in exchange for reliever Jonathan Papelbon during the 2015 season. He is 0-2 with a 9.19 ERA in four career starts against the Nationals. His May 4 start against the Nationals has a lot to do with the high ERA, because he gave up six runs in one inning.

The Phillies opened the series with a 4-3 win on Thursday night. At 43-36, the Phillies are two games ahead of the Nationals (41-38) and just two games behind the Braves for first place in the National League East.

Philadelphia has won its last two games and Rhys Hoskins homered in both. In Thursday night?s series opener Michael Jordan Jersey , the left fielder went 3-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer, his 13th of the season.

?Rhys had another huge (homer) for us,? Phillies manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after his team improved to 4-3 against the Nationals this season.

Hoskins, 25, is hitting .329 with seven homers and 20 RBIs in 18 games during June, raising his season average to .260 and his OPS to .871. Hoskins has just a .224 average in 14 career games against the Nationals Greedy Williams Jersey , but eight of his 11 hits have gone for extra bases.

Washington, which managed to score three runs ? two in the ninth inning ? after being shut out in consecutive games, has lost 10 of 13.
