Latest news and updates about the Nationals
In what has been a tumultuous season with plenty of exciting highs and crushing lows, the last series of 2026 is finally here. With just two games separating these two clubs for the 4th and 5th spots in the National League East, the battle for the basement of the division has taken us all the […]
Throughout this season, Jorbit Vivas has not exactly been a fan favorite. The 25 year old utility infielder has come under fire from the fanbase for several reasons. Between his struggles with RISP early in the season and his occasional lapses in focus, Vivas has become a target. However, I think some of the criticism […]
The New York Mets (73-86) will wrap up their 2026 season against the Washington Nationals (75-84) in a battle for last place in the National League East (and, depending on how you look at it, either the chance to avoid the misfortune of finishing in the cellar or the opportunity to cement better lottery odds […]
The Washington Nationals brought home a championship! Well, not exactly, but the organization did bring home some hardware yesterday. The Rochester Red Wings, the Nats AAA affiliate, won their first International League title since 1997 last night. They won a winner take all game 3 over the Memphis Red Birds to be crowned champions. When […]
The 2026 season looked a lot different for the Washington Nationals. A new manager and front office quickly translated to a different product on the field, one that was more refreshing. Well, at least for the first half of the season. A 48-49 record at the break led many Nationals fans to buy into the changes before a 25-35 record in the second half crushed that hope. Although the team will finish below .500 yet again, I do think there are reasons to be excited about where this team is going. ...

Devin Fitz-Gerald is one of the more fascinating prospects in the Nationals system. The switch hitting infielder is the 5th ranked prospect in the system according to MLB Pipeline and 4th according to Baseball America. Out of the 5 prospects the Nats received in the MacKenzie Gore trade, Fitz-Gerald looks like the best one at […]
The San Francisco Giants’ wRC+, if you take out March/April, the first 14 days of May, and all of August, was #2 in baseball (112) behind only the Washington Nationals and tied with the Dodgers, Brewers, and Cubs. Sure, they were just 10th in runs, but when the weighted stats are on your side, you’ve […]

Entering 2027, there are going to be a few position battles to watch. There should be plenty of competition on the pitching staff in particular. However, one spot that intrigues me is the first base/DH position. It looks like there will be at least three players battling it out for that first base spot and […]
Infielder Nasim Nunez set the Nationals’ single-season record with his 48th stolen base on Wednesday. He didn’t waste any time adding to his mark, taking third base during the same at-bat. As Brian McTaggart of MLB.com pointed out, Nunez’s 49 steals are one more than the entire Astros team. 1. Rice, Alonso tighten AL HR […]

Since the Nats brutal west coast trip, the team has played very well to close out the season. They are 8-3 since that 7 game losing streak and got another series win this afternoon. The Nats bullpen game strategy worked like a charm and the bats picked things up in the middle innings. On the […]
Blue Jays 2 Orioles 4 We are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Stop me if you have heard this one, but the Jays didn’t score enough. And Pete Alonso hit a home run. Max Scherzer had a very 2026 Max Scherzer type of start: 5 innings, 4 hits, 4 earned, 3 walks, though the 7 […]
Details have emerged about Washington Nationals starting pitcher Cade Cavalli's new four-year, $47 million contract, initially revealed last Friday.
This hasn’t turned out to be the week the Tigers hoped for, as they lost their third game of the series against the Nationals 4-2. The Tigers were hoping to come away with a series win over the Nationals in their afternoon game on Wednesday and cruise into their farewell-to-Verlander weekend series on a high […]

After last night’s rare low scoring win, the Nats are in position to claim a series win. This afternoon contest in Detroit will be the last road game of the season for the Nats. The boys will look to finish on a high note as they head home for a final series. With a lefty […]
With the season about to wrap up, the Washington Nationals have decided to shut down Cade Cavalli for the season. He only had one more scheduled start, but the Nats are going to close the book on their ace. It is a decision I understand even though I don’t love it and think it is […]
Seaver King’s 2026 breakout has officially reached the postseason. The Nationals’ No. 4 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 68 prospect overall put together three hits, including a home run, in Game 1 of the International League Finals for Triple-A Rochester. King’s big night aided a 4-3 victory for the Red Wings over Memphis at AutoZone Park. Get tickets to a Minor League game King reached on a broken-bat grounder in the first inning that had eyes for the outfield. He roped a 96.6 mph liner to th...
JR Ritchie had maybe his best outing as a major leaguer last night against the Reds. I say maybe because, well, he did give up a homer, and also that the level of competition he faced from the Cincinnati attack was a lot lower than, say, what he faced in his MLB debut against the Nationals. But, I guess the main takeaway is that especially through the first nine batters, he was really good, in a way he often hasn’t been this season. In some ways, the question of whether there’s space on the pl...
The Detroit Tigers missed a chance to secure a series win over the visiting Washington Nationals on Tuesday night, dropping the second of the three-game series, 3-1. Despite tossing a quality start, Drew Anderson was saddled with the loss while the offense barely made a peep at Comerica Park. Making his final start of the […]

After a convincing victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night, the Tigers looked to win their penultimate series of the season on Tuesday night. They’d have to wait another day to try for that, though, as they went down to defeat by a 3-1 score. Drew Anderson made the start for the Tigers, and […]
