Well played, Mr. Bowden
The Washington Nationals are 46 and 59.
They're in last place, 17.5 games out of first place in a division packed with the Mets, the Nats, and 3 AAA teams. They're nine games behind Cincinnati for the Wild Card. According to the nerds at BaseballProspectus, the Nationals have a .24730 percent chance of making the playoffs, and haven't a one-percent chance since June 27.
It is time to build for the future.
If Jim Bowden doesn't know that, why is he the GM? Why is Alfonzo Soriano still on this team?

First of all, you don't know what Bowden's options were. That is, you don't know what teams offered to give for Soriano. (And when that information was reported, you didn't believe it.)
Second of all, you don't know what the Nats ownership told Bowden to do. After all, the fine people at Baseball Prospecticus say the Nats have a 63% chance of resigning Soriano.

Then again, maybe he understands Soriano has value when he walks. Probably not.
