Latest news and updates about the Nationals
After last night’s game, the Nationals made a big move in the bullpen. They demoted Clayton Beeter, who has spent much of the season as the team’s de facto closer. For a lot of the season, Beeter was one of the better arms of a bad bunch. However, he has really struggled lately and it […]

The Nats have been a chore to watch the last month and a half. We really saw that on display during an 0-6 west coast trip. Many of the games were close, but the Nats consistently found ways to lose. That is just what they have been doing lately. Hopefully that can change at home […]
The San Diego Padres are back in the postseason! They’ll likely go back and forth as the season continues before they face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final Wild Card spot. The Friars swept the Washington Nationals after Jackson Merrill’s two homer day. He finished a double shy of the cycle, with a […]
The 2025 season was a disaster on many levels for the Washington Nationals. However, one of the biggest long term blows came in the farm system. Jarlin Susana and Travis Sykora, the Nats top two pitching prospects both went down with major injuries. Sykora will not pitch this year due to Tommy John, but Jarlin […]
At this point of the season, there is not a whole lot for Nationals fans to be excited about. The team we saw for the first few months of the season is now a distant memory. However, fans do get something to be fired up about once every fifth day when Cade Cavalli is on […]

CJ Abrams could emerge as the Washington Nationals’ next trade piece during the 2026-27 offseason after the club kept the two-time All-Star through the August 3 MLB Trade Deadline. Abrams has since split time between shortstop and second base, while his preference to remain at shortstop long-term could complicate an extension with the Nationals. MLB.com’s […] The post Nationals rumors: Why CJ Abrams offseason trade is becoming increasingly realistic appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The high-leverage arms in the San Diego Padres bullpen of Bradgley Rodriguez, Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller needed a day to sit and watch a game without having to warmup and without having to come into the game to protect and/or save another one-run game. Jackson Merrill gave them that day with a 4-for-5 performance […]
Heading into the season, one of the main questions CJ Abrams had to answer was whether he could sustain his production over a full season. In 2024 and 2025, Abrams was phenomenal before the All-Star break before fading down the stretch. This season, he had his best first half yet, with a .275 average and […]
In 2025, The Pittsburgh Pirates had the third-worst record in the National League at 71-91. They were only behind the Washington nationals and the Colorado Rockies who had the worst record in baseball. In 2026, the Pirates surpassed those 71 wins with still 17 games left in the season. The Buccos had a 72-73 record […]

SAN DIEGO – Six games into his Major League career, Jackson Kent (Nationals’ No. 9 prospect) is still learning the ropes as a starting pitcher. “I think right when you get to the big leagues, that’s when you really start learning,” the rookie Kent said after the Nationals’ 9-2 loss to the Padres. “Learning who you are, learning how to get guys out. Every outing, they’re going to adjust to me and I have to make adjustments to them.” Expos Replica Jersey Giveaway is Saturday! Kent exited the mou...
This road trip has been absolutely miserable. Last night, the Nats made history with their 38th blown save. Now they will look to actually win a game. They are 0-5 on this west coast swing and will look to at least win one game in sunny California. Blake Butera will be making some lineup alterations. […]

The San Diego Padres turned back the clock, making a signature comeback that they haven’t in quite some time. The Friars were down 4-1 against the Washington Nationals heading into the eighth inning.

Prior to his promotion, I caught up with Willits at High-A Wilmington to learn more about his interests outside o...
The Washington Nationals did it! They made history last night and “accomplished” something no MLB team has ever done. Of course, I am referring to the 2026 Nationals setting the all time blown save record when they blew their 38th save late last night. This is a truly embarrassing feat that should stick with everyone […]
No Mason Miller, no problem for the San Diego Padres. Adrian Morejon came in for the third time in as many days having thrown 27 pitches over the previous two outings. San Diego’s All-Star closer was unavailable to close out a 5-4 comeback win for the Padres over the Washington Nationals at Petco Park on […]
