Latest news and updates about the Nationals
Right now, CJ Abrams is a man on a mission. That mission is to prove he can maintain his performance levels over a full 162 game season. Over the past couple seasons, Abrams has had excellent first half numbers before falling off in the second half. Since the All-Star Break, Abrams is doing everything he […]
A game that started as a pitcher’s duel devolved into a crushing loss as the Colorado Rockies dropped the series finale 8-0 to the Washington Nationals. The Rockies are now 3-11 with a -29 run differential in rubber matches and have also suffered their fourth shutout of the season. Another day at the office for […]
With the August 3 MLB trade deadline less than two weeks away, the Washington Nationals stand at a crossroads. At […]
The series is up for grabs in Denver after Hunter Goodman’s home run broke the Nats hearts. This is a massive game for the Nats, who need to stay in the mix as the trade deadline looms. Staying above .500 and winning a series is pivotal for this team’s playoff chances. Curtis Mead will be […]
There’s been plenty of offense during this homestand at Coors Field, sometimes from one team, sometimes from both teams. Now, the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals face off in the rubber match with a series victory on the line. Gabriel Hughes (0-1, 3.14 ERA) will make his third start for the Rockies and second of […]
Left-hander Foster Griffin should have plenty of suitors if he’s made available at the trade deadline, but he isn’t a guarantee to be on the block. Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic reported this morning that the Nationals are “still assessing” whether to trade Griffin or keep him for the rest of the […]
Back in January, Paul Toboni made his biggest move of his young Nats tenure, trading MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 5 prospects, none on top 100 lists, but all with their own unique traits. Six months later, let’s check in on how the trade is working out for both the Rangers […]
Foster Griffin has been one of the best stories in baseball this season, and that success has made him a coveted trade chip ahead of the August 3 deadline. The Washington Nationals signed the left-hander to a one-year, $5.5 million deal in December after three strong seasons in Japan, and he has vastly exceeded expectations, earning a National League All-Star selection while posting a 2.68 ERA with 111 strikeouts and just 27 walks across 117.1 innings. ESPN gave Griffin a 55 percent chance o...
It was a hot night at Coors Field with a hard-hitting Washington Nationals team ready to pick up where they left off on Monday night. But it was not to be as the Colorado Rockies offense came to play tonight. Despite a less-than-stellar performance from Michael Lorenzen, the Rockies were able to keep up with […]
It’s been a back-and-forth affair at Coors Field, with the Colorado Rockies currently leading the Washington Nationals 7-6. But since there are three whole innings left (or hopefully only 2.5!), it’s time for another OVERFLOW THREAD! As a reminder, here are the lineups: Let’s go Rockies! Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re […]
After getting back over .500 last night, the Nats will look to take another series, this time in Colorado. Just based on the pitching matchup and where this game is being played, this game has the potential to be a shootout. This Nats offense is hungry to get this team back into a playoff spot. […]
The Nationals announced that right-hander Eddy Yean has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester. Fellow righty Justin Lawrence has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. The Nats claimed Lawrence off waivers just under a month ago. Since then, he has made seven appearances, allowing three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. That gives him […]
Entering the day with a respectable 51-50 record, the Washington Nationals are putting together a much better 2026 campaign than we thought they would. While the team is just eight games back in the National League East and surprisingly just one game out of the NL Wild Card race, they’re still at a bit of […] The post The Nationals Should Cash in on Trading Luis García Jr. appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Nationals might not want to deal CJ Abrams but the Yankees should test their resolve.
Joe Ryan has become one of the most sought-after arms on the trade market, and the Minnesota Twins face a franchise-altering decision on the right-hander ahead of the August 3 deadline. ESPN's Jeff Passan gave Ryan a 55 percent chance of being traded, listing the Cubs, Padres, Athletics, Diamondbacks, Braves, White Sox, Nationals, Blue Jays, and Cardinals among his best fits. The 30-year-old is having an outstanding season, previously sitting at a 2.85 ERA, before Monday's brutal outing, wit...
Saying the Boston Red Sox are on a heater would be an understatement–and Nationals’ Luis Garcia Jr. might be the piece to push them over the edge. Recently, @dugoutreport made a post on Instagram, talking about the Red Sox’s trade deadline aspirations.

The Nationals entered the day tied with the New York Yankees with MLB-leading 144 home runs. They hit three against the Rockies on Monday, helping Washington earn a victory and pass New York atop the HR team standings. Two of their homers came against Kyle Freeland (2-9, 7.28 ERA) and accounted for four runs, which […]
If the Rockies offense can be anywhere near as hot as the weather, then their series against the Washington Nationals should be an exciting high-scoring affair. With temperatures hitting 100 in Denver on Monday, the Rockies will play host to Washington starting tonight and will need their offense to be on. The Nationals (50-50) lead […]
The Yankees’ post-All-Star break opening didn’t go as well as they hoped, flailing around for three games offensively against the Dodgers and walking away with just a narrow last-minute win in the finale. The offense that didn’t do much until the terrible Nationals bullpen let them back into each of their games continued to do […]
The Braves have spent the bulk of the season in first place in the National League East, but a once-comfortable lead has dwindled to three games over the resurgent Phillies (six and eight over the upstart Marlins and Nationals, respectively). As their division rivals have improved their play in recent weeks, Atlanta has struggled both […]
It was a Wednesday afternoon at then-named Minute Maid Park. On July 20, 2011, Jose Altuve made his MLB debut with the Houston Astros. He went 1×5 in a 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals in 11 innings. He got his first major league hit with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th inning […]

The Washington Nationals have signed Chase Brunson, Luke Williams and Cooper Harris. Those three were the second, third and fourth rounders in this year’s draft. While first rounder and local kid Chris Hacopian will take up most of the headlines, these three are also part of the foundation of Paul Toboni’s first draft. I am […]
The Colorado Rockies have begun the second half of their season with a series loss against the Cincinnati Reds at home. Tonight, they begin a three-game set against the Washington Nationals and then set out on the road to face the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres. There are 61 games left in the season, […]
