Nope.
When you have Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg at the height of their power along with an OF of Eaton, Harper and Soto to go with a good, deep IF and solid relief staff, you don't trade Harper.
Flags fly forever and right now the Nats are at risk of wasting the Harper years. If anything, they should be pushing in rather than selling. If they could get Herrera from KC for a reasonable price, they should look into it. You HAVE to make every effort possible to win at least a pennant if for no other reason than it might improve your ability to keep Harper in Washington.
I mean, it's not as unlikely as the National unloading Trout or the Indians trading Lindor, but it's not much more likely than that. Statistically I guess you'd call it a 'non-zero chance' which is a pretty diplomatic way of saying 'damn near 0% chance...'
