2/10/25	Washington Nationals Again Connected to All-Star Closer in Free Agency. The Washington Nationals were a team that many people were keeping an eye on heading into the MLB offseason.

7/31/24	Streaking Diamondbacks Add Bell, Floro After Losing Walker To Injury. The Arizona Diamondbacks reasserted their postseason intentions with a flurry of moves at the major league trade deadline July 30, once forced on them by an untimely injury. The D-Backs acquired first baseman Josh Bell and right-handed reliever Dylan Floro at the Tuesday deadline, five days after adding undervalued left-handed reliever A.J. Puk and swelling their franchise-high payroll to $174.7 million. The moves strengthened a streaking team that is receiving All-Star years from Ketel Marte and Christian Walker and has won 14 of its last 18 games after finishing a three-game sweep of Washington on Wednesday, a run that has pushed them a season-high seven games over .500 and sparked visions of the kind of late-season surge that took them to the 2023 World Series.
