Latest news and updates about the Nationals
Last night the Nats delivered a beatdown the likes of which I have not seen in many years. Everyone ate in Sacramento, with the Nats putting up an absurd 23 runs. Those 23 runs are tied for the second most in franchise history. Once the Nats got into the A’s bullpen, things just spiraled out […]
TODAY: The Nats officially called up Ford yesterday, and manager Blake Butera revealed (to team reporter Alexa Datt and other media) that Millas underwent surgery on his left index finger. It doesn’t appear as the surgery will threaten Millas’ season, as Butera said “hopefully…it’s not too long a recovery process.” This latest procedure removed a […]
The Washington Nationals could consider cashing in on infielder Luis García Jr.'s career-best 2026 season with a trade.
The “Second Half” of the 2026 MLB season began tonight for the Athletics against the Washington Nationals at Sutter Health Park in West Sac. After finishing the first half on a nine-game losing streak, the team hopes to get off on the right foot against the Nats. Gage Jump made the start for the A’s, […]
We have gotten some time to decompress and get away from Nationals baseball, but now we are back. The Nats head out west to play the Athletics in Sacramento. With two strong lineups and a small ballpark, there could be some fireworks on display this weekend. The big news in today’s lineup is that Harry […]
The “Second Half” of the 2026 MLB season begins tonight for the Athletics. They’ll pick up at home in West Sacramento against the Washington Nationals at 6:40 p.m. After finishing the first half on a nine-game losing streak, the team hopes to get off on the right foot against a Nationals team which sits in […]
July 17: The A’s have now announced also these moves, including Rooker’s transfer to the 60-day IL. July 15: The A’s will call up infielder Tommy White for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. It’ll be the major league debut for the former LSU star. The team’s transaction log at […]
Say what you like about the extra wild-card, it has certainly made things interesting. There’s really only a handful of teams in the NL who are out of the picture. Five (the Rockies, Giants, Mets, Reds and Nationals) currently have playoff odds below four percent, according to Fangraphs. Everyone else is at least in double […]
The New York Mets are in desperate need of a reset, with Juan Soto as their North Star. These trade deadline moves would bring on a new era in Queens.
The All-Star break has come to a close, and that means it’s time for real baseball to once again commence. A 3-game sweep courtesy of the New York Yankees left a sour taste in the mouths of Nats’ fans going into the break, despite an otherwise productive month of July to date, and now it’s […]
Assuming the planned Nats trajectory is "do nothing, see you in 2027" do you want a mini-run after the break to get your hopes up? I say sure. Better baseball is better baseball even in the pursuit of nothing. Do you have a goal win total for the end of the year .500 or bust! Do you want to see these guys traded or re-signed (let's assume reasonable market contract - which means decently big but not crazy Miles Mikolas or Zack Littell? Take the bag of balls. Foster Grif...
The New York Mets are one of the few certified sellers on the market as we quickly approach the trade deadline on August 3rd. How much of a seller will they be? According to reports, they have informed teams around baseball that everyone on the roster is up for grabs—except for five 'untouchables.' Mets have informed teams that everyone but Juan Soto, Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, AJ Ewing, and Christian Scott is available, per @chelsea_janes . pic.twitter.com/OcEqL7oSMi — Underdog MLB (@Underdo...
The Nationals announced Thursday that they’ve traded outfielder Robert Hassell III to the Pirates in exchange for cash or a player to be named later. Washington recently designated the former first-round pick and top prospect for assignment. He cleared waivers a few days ago and was outrighted to Triple-A. As such, he was not on […]
So it turns out Robert Hassell III will not be staying in the Nationals organization after all. Earlier this month, Hassell was DFA’d, but he cleared waivers and remained in the Nats system. However, he got shipped off to the Pirates for either cash or a player to be named later this afternoon. The truth […]
Tommy Tanks is headed to the Show. Just two years removed from his star-studded time in Baton Rouge, former national champion Tommy White has been called up by the Athletics to make his MLB debut this Friday against the Washington Nationals. Who plays for the Nationals? Oh yeah, Dylan Crews. One of his former LSU […]
The Nationals have toiled in the basement of the National League since winning the 2019 World Series. The 2026 campaign has been a much-needed light at the end of the rebuilding tunnel. It took a revamped front office, a brand-new manager, and a roster overhaul, but the Nats are finally moving in the right direction. […]
It did not take long for the Nats to agree on a deal with 11th overall pick Chris Hacopian. The Nats signed the former Texas A&M and Maryland star to a $5.7 million deal. This is notable because it is about $430,000 under the $6.13 million slot value of the 11th pick. Those savings will […]
K-State baseball seniors Shintaro Inoue and Miles Smith have signed free agent contracts with MLB organizations following the 2026 MLB Draft, as Inoue signed with the Athletics and Smith joined the Washington Nationals.

While CJ Abrams, James Wood and the rest of the National League hitters could not get anything going last night, we did get to see Foster Griffin at his best. The Nats southpaw threw a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts to continue his magical season. Baseball fans got a taste of what Nats fans have […]
One of the Washington Nationals’ top prospects has agreed to sell a percentage of his future baseball earnings to a startup called Agentiq, the latest company seeking to build a platform for public investment in professional athletes. Ronny Cruz, an infielder with the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks, is the first pro to sign a deal […]
A lot of good-ish teams doesn't necessarily translate to a wide-open postseason chase—or more hope for teams like the Nats. The post The NL Is Good, But Its Playoff Races Aren’t appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
The Nationals announced that left-hander Matt Krook, whom they designated for assignment a few days ago, cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Rochester. Krook opted for free agency, as was his right as a player with a previous career outright. Krook, 31, oddly has a very limited big league track record but has […]
In a season full of great stories on the offensive side of the ball, the emergence of Curtis Mead has been one of the best ones. The Nats traded a 6th round senior sign for Mead, who had just been DFA’d by the White Sox. It has proven to be a great deal, as Mead […]
The Yankees are riding high into the All-Star break on the back of a three-game sweep of the Nationals, overcoming a deficit in the eighth inning or later in all three games for the first time since they were the Highlanders sweeping the Cleveland Naps in 1910. However, we have to go back a game […]
