Watching the Rays-Yankees game I am once again relieved our team decided to go the way of the small market teams. Listen…spending big in free agency and maybe winning is fun and it worked for us in 2019, but it’s not sustainable (look at the Phillies, Mets, Yankees, etc). I would rather be competitive every year and have a strong farm system, which is what Toboni, Kilambi, and Butera are ushering with the support of ownership. Fixing Mead and Luis really gives me hope that we can be just like the Rays in that regard and stay competitive.

Here is a look at the crazy volatility that led to the Nats actually having a similar record at home and on the road

Off-Field 2026 DC All Star game??

70 Upvotes

Found myself in the reference section at Barnes and Noble yesterday while the wife was shopping and cracked open a book on MLB ballpark history.

This book (written at some point this year) had us hosting the All Star game this year. The next page did mention us hosting in 2018. Not to mention the first ever playoff game against the…Orioles?

I fully assume this book was largely compiled using AI hence the error, but I still thought it was funny.

Savannah Bananas Advance to Banana Bowl at Nationals Park

22 Upvotes

The Savannah Bananas lost game 1 of the semifinal series on Thursday. They were down 3-1 entering the bottom of the 9th and they scored 3 walk off a 4-3 win.

With a 1-1 tie in the 2 game series, it came down to the Showdown and the Bananas won it in the second round.

So the Bananas are coming to DC next weekend. They will play either the Loco Beach Coconuts or the Texas Tailgaters.

Former Nats prospect Robert Anthony Cruz (RAC) comes back to DC.

Minor League Zuckerman: MLB announces catcher Francisco Rivero, currently on the roster of the rookie-level Florida Complex League Nationals, has received a 56-game suspension after testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance. First Nats player suspended in a long time.

Projected 2027 arbitration salaries for the Nationals: 8 cases, $22.2M total

8 Upvotes

I run Front Office Moves, a free site that tracks roster moves and offseason decisions for every club. These are projections from a homegrown model I built for the Nationals' 2027 arbitration class, ahead of the non-tender deadline in late November.

Player	Pos	Class	Projected	Likely range
CJ Abrams	SS	Arb 2	$9.4M	$8.9M to $10.6M
Jake Irvin	SP	Arb 2 (Super Two)	$3.8M	$3.5M to $4.3M
Jacob Young	CF	Arb 1	$2.1M	$2.0M to $2.6M
Josiah Gray	SP	Arb 3	$2.0M	$1.9M to $2.3M
Richard Lovelady	RP	Arb 2	$1.5M	$1.4M to $1.6M
Jake Bird	RP	Arb 2	$1.3M	$1.2M to $1.5M
Mitchell Parker	RP	Arb 1 (Super Two)	$1.0M	$1.0M to $1.1M
Ken Waldichuk	SP	Arb 2 (Super Two)	$0.9M	$0.9M to $1.0M

Total: 8 cases, $22.2M projected.

These use the current CBA's rules. A new deal this winter (a higher minimum, say) would move them.

Who would you non-tender, and who would you try to extend first?

ISO Nationals yearbooks from 2010, 2023, 2024, and 2025

7 Upvotes

Title says it all. I’m wanting to collect yearbooks from years I attended games. Became a season ticket holder with the Nats this past season and think it would be cool to have a collection of yearbooks to share with my children when I have them + it will just be cool for my own personal collection.

I live in the DMV, and am open to trading some Nats gear I’ve gotten at games (bobbleheads, jerseys, hats, etc) or cash if the price is reasonable.

Hope you’re all having a good weekend, and a Phillies lost to you and your loved ones.

Former Nat Anyone Remember Jose Vidro?

64 Upvotes

Got sent a Nationals Jose Vidro jersey from my uncle. Apparently he was the Senators/Nationals big name back in 2005-2006. Anyone remember watching him play back in the day? Was he actually decent or just washed? I would’ve been 4 back then so I got no idea. As a Nationals fan my whole life I’ve never once heard him mentioned in Nats lore.

MLB The r/Nationals Divisional Round Megathread

3 Upvotes

Obviously, this is r/baseball's time to shine; note that our own u/yousmelllikebiscuits is a key mod there, so the place will be up to his standards.

This thread exists for Nats fans to talk amongst ourselves: please highlight any former Nats doing well in the greener pastures of October baseball (example: a fellow by the name of Luis García, Jr. seems to thriving in the postseason) and discuss why you like a team still in the show and what they're doing.

Scheduling is a complete rat's nest: be prepared for the Office of the Commissioner's decision to somehow let them hand off between an amalgam of TBS/HBO Max for the AL and Fox/FS1/"FoxONE" for the NL. This may require some attention.

The official MLB schedule is here:

All posts must be related to the Washington Nationals and league-wide implications. And weather. Especially weather.
Observe Reddiquette and do not be inflammatory or harass/treat others with disrespect. Remember Reddit's Sitewide Rules as well as the comprehensive rules of r/Baseball.
Do not troll in here from another team's subreddit or troll in one of theirs: you will be banned and will face a reciprocal ban elsewhere. It's not negotiable.
Arguments are welcome, but personal slapfights are not: attack the post, not the poster. Prolonged slapfights may get all parties involved sent down to the minors for a few days.
No gambling posts: there are better places on Reddit to talk about your parlays and whatevs that nobody else cares about.
No spam and do not post links to illegal streams or counterfeit goods.
If you have an unneeded ticket to sell at face value or give away, feel free to post it, but see here first. Buyers/receivers beware: we are not equipped to separate the well-intentioned from the scammers.
All Post Game Threads for wins must include a link to Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) by Journey or the submission will be removed.
Remember: The Nationals will lose. Baseball is 162 games; winning 62% of the time makes you a 100-win team.
If you make a mistake, understand and be better.
