Nationals Agree To Deal With David Dahl

The Washington Nationals agreed to a deal with free-agent outfielder David Dahl on Friday. The addition of Dahl at this time is interesting after the team recently announced that superstar outfielder Juan Soto is available ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline after he declined a 15-year, $440 million contract extension. Dahl hasn't played in […]

Mets, Astros Interested In Josh Bell

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell is likely to be on the move here soon. The 31-year-old has been hot at the plate this season, so the Nats are likely going to cash-in on his value.

Is Oneil Cruz a Breakout Player or Over-Hyped Rookie?

Sometimes when your anticipation for something is so great, it's hard to evaluate that particular thing fairly and accurately. Sometimes we want a movie or a show or a person we're dating to be good, so we only see the positives (like people who claimed to like "Obi-Wan"). Other times, the waiting makes our expectations […]

Nationals Want To Offload Patrick Corbin's Contract

As the Washington Nationals begin the process of trying to trade superstar outfielder Juan Soto before the Aug. 2 trade deadline, they want multiple major-leaguers and top prospects in return and also want to offload the bad contract of left-hander Patrick Corbin, according to sources.

The Washington Nationals selected outfielder Elijah Green out of Florida's IMG Academy with the fifth overall pick in the 2022 MLB draft.

Juan Soto Available After Turning Down $440 Million

Washington Nationals All-Star outfielder Juan Soto is now available for a trade after recently turning down a 15-year, $440 million offer, according to sources.

Sean Doolittle To Undergo UCL Surgery

Washington Nationals left-hander Sean Doolittle (elbow) will be undergoing season-ending UCL surgery. It will be an internal brace procedure to repair the UCL in the elbow of his throwing arm.
