Nationals Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.<\/p>\n<p> Dykstra was selected by Milwaukee in the second round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft and has a .374 on-base percentage with 49 stolen bases in three minor-league seasons. Recently tabbed the eighth-best prospect in the Brewers organization by Hardballtimes, Dykstra was rated the second-best prospect in the Single-A Pioneer League and seventh-best Brewers prospect by industry-insider Baseball America following the 2008 season.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan, 30, batted .253 with 24 RBI and 34 stolen bases in 136 contests last season with Washington.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier today: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2011\/03\/the-ryan-zimmerman-doomsday-clock-is-a-year-away.html\">The Ryan Zimmerman doomsday clock is a year away<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREAKING: Per @washingnats Nyjer Morgan has been traded from the Washington Nationals for Cutter Dykstra.
