In reversal, Long will return as Nationals' hitting coach

In reversal, Long will return as Nationals' hitting coach
Kevin Long will be back as the Nationals' hitting coach after all. Long and the Nats agreed to reunite on a one-year deal, a source familiar with the terms confirmed this afternoon, a surprising reversal from what appeared to be a parting of ways between the two sides nearly two weeks ago. Long, like everyone else on Davey Martinez's coaching staff, had a contract that was set to expire Oct. 31. Martinez, who signed a long-term extension in September, has been seeking to have more say in the...

Harrison returns to Nats for another year on $1 million deal
Josh Harrison joined the Nationals four days into the 2020 season. The veteran utilityman quickly made himself invaluable on and off the field, so much so that the club wasted no time ensuring he'd be back in 2021. The Nationals re-signed Harrison to a one-year deal this morning, making the 33-year-old the first of their pending free agents to get a new contract that will keep him in Washington for another season. He'll earn $1 million in base salary, plus an additional $250,000 in...

Martinez goes for familiarity with pitching coach Hickey (updated)
In choosing to let go several members of a staff that helped him win a World Series, Davey Martinez suggested he preferred to bring in coaches with whom he already had well-established relationships. Sure enough, Martinez's first hire of the offseason is someone he already knows very well: Jim Hickey. The Nationals named Hickey their new pitching coach today, hiring the 58-year-old who spent seven seasons working on the same Rays staff with Martinez last decade. "I am very excited to add Jim...

Taylor's time with Nats ends after outfielder clears waivers
Michael A. Taylor spent the better part of six seasons teetering on the fringes of the Nationals roster, perpetually in danger of losing his spot but always managing to stick around because of the club's needs and his penchant for playing well enough at just the right moments to merit it. The outfielder's time with the Nats, though, finally ran out today when the club announced he cleared outright waivers and elected to become a free agent. As they embark on what is expected to be a...
