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...

Trae Young speaks up on his NBA future following trade to Wizards.
Just when the Nats looked dead in the water, they came back in the 9th with Daylen Lile and CJ Abrams delivering the big hits. Now they will look to carry that momentum into this game where they have a chance to claim another series win. The late night Nats are back in action folks. […]

Daronte Jones was hired to revamp the Commanders defense, to create an aggressive scheme that can set the tone. Washington’s new defensive coordinator came over from Minnesota, where he worked under respected play caller Brian Flores, who has a reputation for creating exotic blitzes that can disorient the opposition.

In just about every mock draft you read, the Washington Nationals are connected to one name. That name is 17 year old prodigy Jared Grindlinger, who is a two way player who reclassified into the 2026 class. Grindlinger is the youngest player in the draft, not turning 18 until next April. His youth and intriguing […]
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 […]
The Wizards have a blueprint to follow, and nobody is stopping them from putting the league on notice.
In the San Francisco Giants’ series opener against the Washington Nationals, the team would record another loss on Monday night, 4-3, despite a great effort from starting pitcher Logan Webb.

There’s no doubt that 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk has brought trouble upon himself. Still, his desire to play with the Washington Commanders is well-advertised. However, the Commanders are making a huge mistake with the 49ers receiver. To make a long story short, the 49ers are done with Aiyuk. But as of now, they control his […]

Like every team in the league, there have been times this season where the Nats have struggled with runners in scoring position.
