Latest news and updates about the Nationals
Blake Butera and the Nationals are sticking with their struggling relievers
Despite the bullpen meltdown the other day, the Nationals are not making any changes to the active roster. Mitchell Parker and Paxton Schultz are staying around despite their roles in blowing a 9-1 lead. Teams were 1-3,090 when trailing by 8+ runs after 7 innings, but the Giants got that second win. Honestly the lack […]
Nationals Claim Jhancarlos Lara, Designate Julian Fernandez
The Nationals announced that they have claimed right-hander Jhancarlos Lara from the Braves and optioned him to Double-A Harrisburg. In a corresponding move, the Nats designated righty Julian Fernandez for assignment. When the Braves selected Lara’s contract last September, Baseball America, MLB.com and FanGraphs each ranked him among the team’s 25 best prospects. There were […]
Nationals Look To Restore The Good Vibes At Home Against Mariners
The Nationals’ West Coast trip was a successful one, taking 2 out of 3 in both series and bringing themselves back over .500, but the way the final game of the trip ended, it felt like a disaster. After entering the bottom of the 8th inning leading 9-1, the Nats surrendered 10 runs in the […]
Series Preview: Mariners (36-34) vs. Nationals (35-34)
After a strong start to their series in Baltimore, the Mariners had to settle for a split series after two lackluster efforts on Wednesday and Thursday.

Eli Willits is showing an unexpected power stroke in the Nationals system
When Eli Willits was drafted first overall last year, he was seen as a very polished and skilled ballplayer for such a young guy. He had great bat to ball skills from both sides of the plate, a rock solid glove at shortstop, and an overall high baseball IQ. However, scouts were not sure how […]
Mariners News: Matt Brash, Shohei Ohtani, and Tarik Skubal

The Washington Nationals signing of Foster Griffin was one of the best moves of the offseason
Due to the bullpen collapse it will be mostly forgotten, but Foster Griffin had yet another rock solid start yesterday. He has been such an outstanding addition to the rotation, and signing him out of Japan has proven to be an outstanding deal for Paul Toboni. On the season, Griffin now has a 3.46 ERA […]
Washington Nationals pitchers do not have good enough stuff to succeed
When Mitchell Parker came into the game yesterday, most Nats fans knew things would not end well. Nobody was surprised when that Bryce Eldridge fly ball sailed out of Oracle Park because we have seen Parker give up home runs so many times. The issue for Parker and several other Nats pitchers is that their […]

In this edition, we'll get into Rafael Devers' contract and trade value (or lack thereof), the Nationals' unexpectedly strong performance and how it could shape their deadline, the revolving door for "41st men" on 40-man rosters (e.g. Atlanta's Carlos Carrasco), the Guardians' deadline […]
It is decision time for Blake Butera and Paul Toboni about Mitchell Parker and the Nationals bullpen
Well that sucked. Just when it looked like the Nationals had a sweep in the bag, the bullpen completely melted down. The Giants rallied from 9-1 down to stun the Nats.

MLB Rumors: Top 3 Trade Destinations For CJ Abrams
CJ Abrams is just 25 years old, has 14 home runs, 51 RBIs, and a .283 average in 67 games, and plays for a Washington Nationals team that traded MacKenzie Gore in January and is clearly not built to contend over a 162-game season. ESPN's Jeff Passan explored the trade picture this week, naming the Yankees, Braves, Brewers, and Rays as teams that could pursue Abrams ahead of the August 3 deadline. Abrams is not a free agent until after the 2028 season, meaning any acquiring team gets two-pl...

His youth and intriguing […]
Arizona Diamondbacks look to bounce back in series against the Miami Marlins
Well, that was disappointing. The Diamondbacks followed up holding their own against the Dodgers with getting the tar beat out of them by the struggling, but offensively proficient, Washington Nationals. Thanks more to the other teams around them also struggling than their own efforts, they are still in a playoff position. Worst case scenario is […]

Nationals Notes: Herz, Alvarez, Henry, Ortiz
Nationals lefty DJ Herz tossed two scoreless innings in the Florida Complex League on Friday. It’s the southpaw’s first game action in almost two years, as Herz underwent Tommy John surgery at the beginning of the 2025 season.
