4/01/25 | Nationals Improved Slugging is Encouraging, Lineup Still Not Firing on All Cylinders. It hasn't been an ideal start to the season for the Washington Nationals, but there are still reasons to be optimistic about the outlook for the team. Coming into the campaign, the Nationals realistically weren't going to be a playoff contender in the National League East. Due to the competition in the division being stiff and the state of the franchise, 2025 is going to be all about player development and evaluation. On Opening Day, MacKenzie Gore put together one of the best starts of his career. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/nationals-im... |
3/31/25 | Can Young Nationals Slugger Earn His First All-Star Nod This Season?. The Washington Nationals are a team that a lot of people are going to be keeping a close eye on this year because of the emerging young talent that is on the roster. In their season opening series against the Philadelphia Phillies, their National League East rivals got a first-hand look at what is a rapidly improving starting rotation. Whatever the Nationals starting pitching is lacking in name recognition, they are making up for in talent. MacKenzie Gore had a historic start on Opening Day, mowing down the Phillies with 13 strikeouts in six innings. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/can-young-na... |
3/31/25 | Nationals Notebook: Start to the season shows promise and pitfalls. The Washington Nationals dropped two of three games to the reigning NL East champs while showing plenty of promise (MacKenzie Gore was outstanding on Opening Day) plus concern (the bullpen had issues the first two days in key spots). Miami (3-1) leads the NL East although upon closer examination all three of their wins over Pittsburgh were one-run affairs. Philadelphia (2-1) didn't only drop their series finale in D.C., but the Phillies lost Trea Turner (back) and J.T. Realmuto (left foot) to injury Saturday.

3/27/25 | Turner leading off in Phillies' Opening Day lineup. In Game 1 of 162, it's Turner in the leadoff spot against Nationals left-hander Mackenzie Gore. The Phillies have been interested in seeing what their offense can look like with Turner leading off. Manager Rob Thomson has left open the possibility that Turner could lead off against lefties and Schwarber against righties. Schwarber has led off in 83.6% of his plate appearance as a Phillie and he's certainly performed, setting the major-league record last season in leadoff homers while also leading the National League with 106 walks.

3/14/25 | Should Washington Nationals Have Re-Signed Franchise Great To End Storied Career?. The Washington Nationals are still firmly in the middle of a rebuild that began shortly after their 2019 World Series win, and while there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel, they enter the 2025 season with questions in the rotation. The top of the rotation has been solidified with former top prospects Mackenzie Gore and Jake Irvin, but the back end is where concern arises. As things currently stand, the Nationals look like they'll be relying on a mixture of unproven, and injury prone newcomers. There are still a few solid free agent options that could be added before the season starts at least to serve as innings eaters, but many have begun to question why the team didn't do more to aquire a franchise legend in the offseason.

1/19/25 | Former Washington Nationals First-Round Pick Now Buried on Team's Depth Chart. This is an exciting time for the Washington Nationals and their fan base. The fruits of their rebuilding labor are finally starting to reveal themselves with the arrival of multiple star prospects to play alongside the original building blocks of MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams who were part of the headlining package in the Juan Soto trade. While the young sluggers in the lineup get the majority of the attention, this starting rotation also has plenty of talented players who could become stars for this franchise. Outside of Gore, Jake Irvin has proven himself to be a real weapon. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/former-washi... |
12/13/24 | Washington Nationals Priced Out of Starting Pitching Market This Offseason. Coming into the offseason, one of the goals of Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo was to find some starting pitching help. Right now, the Nationals have a nice collection of young arms that have some real upside. MacKenzie Gore sandwiched ace performances around a really tough summer. Jake Irvin remains a rock-solid member of the rotation. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/washington-n... |
11/09/24 | Washington Nationals Linked to Two-Time World Series Champion in Free Agency. The Washington Nationals have most of their pitching staff set, but remain pretty young at the position. Young stars like MacKenzie Gore, DJ Herz and Mitchell Parker all came into their own while Patrick Corbin acted as a leading presence. With Corbin now gone, they need another experienced arm in the room. R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports connected them with one of the best veteran pitchers on the board at a good value, listing them as one of the top landing spots for two-time World Series champ Nathan Eovaldi.
