This would be near perfect.

The Nationals send SP Stephen Strasburg and 1B Ryan Zimmerman to Toronto.

The Blue Jays trade 1B Edwin Encarnacion and SP Drew Hutchison to Washington.

Other details could be tweaked, but the basis for this is sound. These two clubs also have done business before on the Drew Storen trade. Both EE and Stras are free agents after this year.

Washington gets a legit power hitter to slot into its lineup with Harper. With Giolito ready to go, the Nats' rotation of Scherzer-Gio-Roark-Ross-Giolito still is plenty strong.

Toronto gets an ace to take pressure off of Marcus Stroman, and the rotation is upgraded to contend. Zimmerman can DH, which will help keep him off the DL.

It's a fair trade with both teams benefiting.

There is no difference in this trade, plus why would the Blue Jays want to trade one of their best players (Encarnacion) and a decent pitcher, but even more, the Nationals wouldn't trade their number 2 starter and their multi position player, especially if they are both trying to make the playoffs in the next year or two.
