It’s officially 2026 and with it comes a new chapter for the Washington Nationals. 2025 was a disappointing year on the field, but a hugely important year off it. 2026 will be the first full year of the Paul Toboni era. Here are some New Year’s resolutions Toboni and the Nats should have. Create a […]
The state has drawn increasing national ire, especially from the White House and Republicans in Congress, over allegations of fraud involving government services. HHS freezes child care funds in Minnesota over fraud claims The federal Department of Health and Human Services has frozen all child care payments to Minnesota, citing what it calls “egregious fraud” […]
By all accounts, 2025 was a pretty bad year for the Washington Nationals. Expectations weren’t particularly high, with most fans expecting a win in the 70s and a few holding out hoping for the playoffs, but the team failed to even achieve that. They finished 66-96, which resulted in the dismissal of Manager Davey Martinez, […]
Entering 2026, the Washington Nationals bullpen is fraught with uncertainty. The unit had the worst bullpen ERA in all of baseball last year, with a mark of 5.59. Instead of adding to the unit, Paul Toboni has made the group even worse on paper so far this season by trading presumably closer Jose A. Ferrer […]
The Washington Nationals are painfully light on experience. From the front office to the coaching staff to the players, there aren’t many proven commodities.

I wanted to break down some of their choices because while I agree with many of their decisions, there are just as […]
In the second half of the season, Daylen Lile was a breakout star for the Washington Nationals. His smooth stroke and aggression on the bases made him a fan favorite in DC. He brought back memories of other Nats pure hitters like Daniel Murphy and Howie Kendrick. However, the one comparison that comes up the […]
Yesterday, Ryan O’Hearn signed a two-year, $29 million contract with the Pirates. This is relevant to the Nats in a few ways. The most obvious is that the Nats missed a target at first base. I wrote about O’Hearn as a fit and even said a potential two-year deal could cost $28 million. However, I […]
With the addition of Willson Contreras from the Cardinals last night, the Boston Red Sox seemingly no longer have room for Triston Casas in their starting lineup, with Contreras taking over first base duties and Masataka Yoshida lining up for the majority of reps at DH. Casas was a mainstay of the Red Sox lineup […]
The Luis Perales trade made one thing clear: the Washington Nationals definitely want their pitching prospects to step on the gas. After the deal, the Nats’ best pitchers are almost all flamethrowers. Between Perales, Jarlin Susana, Miguel Sime Jr., Travis Sykora, Alex Clemmey, Eriq Swan and Landon Harmon, there is a lot of heat in […]
