From Dodger killer turned Dodger, the 2021 NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario appeared in just two games with the Dodgers at the big league level in April before bouncing around between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers minor league systems. Rosario was coming off a disappointing 2024 season where he spent time between the Washington Nationals […]

The Yankees contined a modest offseason so far by bringing back the versatile Amed Rosario, who played well for them after being acquired from the Nationals at the Trade Deadline. Almost everyone is understandably still twiddling their thumbs and waiting for the Yanks to make their big move, but in the meantime, these edges of […]

With the losses of Robert Garcia, Kyle Finnegan, and, most recently, Jose A. Ferrer, in the past year, the Nationals’ bullpen is in much worse shape than it started the year, though the farm is better off for it. Pending any free agent additions or other trade subtractions, the Nats will enter 2026 with an […]

The Dodgers were the seventh different team that Luis García played for in his 13th big league season, pitching in 28 games before spending time with both the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Angels. After spending the 2024 season with the Angels and the Boston Red Sox, the Dodgers signed García to a minor […]

It is no secret that pitching is a major concern for the Washington Nationals. As a team, they posted a 5.35 ERA, the worst mark since the franchise moved to DC. There is also a strong possibility that the Nats trade their best pitcher, MacKenzie Gore. This made me wonder about how Paul Toboni and […]

Luis Arraez is a player of extremes. When you look at his Baseball Savant page, all of his stats are either in the top 5 percentile of the bottom 5 percentile. His outlier skillset has made him a polarizing player and a guy fans love to talk about. He has won three batting titles in […]

The Phillies have checked the biggest item off of their offseason to-do list, as they have ensured that Kyle Schwarber will be back in Philadelphia for 2026 and beyond. There still is a lot of work to do, namely answering the J.T. Realmuto question and remaking the outfield, but retaining Schwarber or finding a replacement […]

I have been examining a few players who have been rumored to be available on the trade market. Today, I will look at Washington Nationals’ lefthanded starter MacKenzie Gore The background Originally drafted third overall by the San Diego Padres in the 2017 draft, Gore became a top ten prospect and reached the major leagues […]

The Nationals bullpen was a major problem in 2025 and the issue is even bigger now that Paul Toboni traded away the team’s most promising reliever Jose A. Ferrer. If Harry Ford becomes a quality starting catcher, the trade will be worth it. However, losing Ferrer makes the Nats bullpen even more of a question […]

We all love Michael Soroka. We’re all sad his career has gone the way it has, right? Well, Soroka had his second-best season last year, putting up 1.1 fWAR for the Nationals and Cubs. He actually had 1.2 fWAR for the Nationals in 16 starts, but then kind of imploded while barely pitching for the […]

After coming over from the Washington Nationals at the trade deadline back in July, Kyle Finnegan gave the Tigers some very good relief work until a groin injury sidelined him for most of September. The Tigers liked what they saw though, as Finnegan found new success under pitching coaches Chris Fetter, Robin Lund, and Juan […]

While no moves were made, Paul Toboni had a busy first day at the Winter Meetings. The Nats and their potential trade targets were the talk of the town in Orlando with plenty of rumors surfacing about MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams. There were also updates about the coaching staff and new technology that will […]

After a couple months of information slowly dripping out, the Nationals have finally announced their 2026 coaching staff, or at least most of it. At the Winter Meetings, Paul Toboni told reporters what the staff will be for 2026. Most of these names were already known, but there were a couple new faces in there. […]

As the Washington Nationals continue to reorganize under new baseball president Paul Toboni, we’re increasingly seeing evidence that the team will genuinely consider trading lefty MacKenzie Gore this offseason. Now or at the 2026 Trade Deadline seems likely either way, and since no one knows what might happen to the first part of the 2027 season – the last year Gore would be under control – it’s possible Gore has significantly more value right now than he will in July. Plus, if the Nationals w...

The Winter Meetings are now underway and the idea of the Nationals trading their young stars is a big talking point. After having a fire sale just a few years ago, the fact we are here again is disheartening. However, moving off of players like MacKenzie Gore and maybe even CJ Abrams could be best […]

The Nationals made their first big roster move of the offseason on Saturday when they acquired catcher Harry Ford, a consensus top 100 prospect in baseball and one of the best catching prospects in the sport, in exchange for left-handed reliever Jose A. Ferrer. The move signaled a multitude of things, including a possible signal […]

The Nats don't have a lot of good pitchers. Gore yes. Brad Lord probably and... uhhh Cavalli likely, Beeter looks good... uhhh Henry? Anyway Ferrer was a young lefty (and MAN they do NOT have a lot of lefties) with good fancy stats that I also liked. But they sent him away to Seattle for a catcher, Harry Ford. So first what does this signal? Rebuild... probably Ferrer is only 25 with plenty of team control. Given the Nats lack of LH relief he's the type of guy you...

Isaac Lyon was a 10th round pick of the Mariners last season, and has only thrown 12.1 IP of professional baseball. Ferrer was 4-4, […]

The Seattle Mariners are acquiring pitcher Jose Ferrer from the Washington Nationals in exchange for catcher Harry Ford and pitcher Isaac Lyon, per reports from yesterday. This is the second year in a row where the Nationals have traded a young, controllable, but unheralded lefty reliever with a 4+ ERA but quality peripherals. Last year, […]
