How much can the Nats actually afford to spend this winter?

How much can the Nats actually afford to spend this winter?
There's a lot of talk about the Nationals and money right now, namely how much money they can spend in an attempt to keep Anthony Rendon and Stephen Strasburg. This comes after managing principal owner Mark Lerner, in an interview with former tennis player, lawyer and agent Donald Dell on NBC Sports Washington, claimed the club "really can only afford to have one of those two guys." This perhaps caught a lot of folks off guard, if not for the actual message than for the fact Lerner was...

Rest of NL East now trying to unseat champion Nationals

Rest of NL East now trying to unseat champion Nationals
The National League East is a competitive division, if not always in the actual standings then at least in the mindset four of the five franchises take when trying to outdo each other. And that hasn't changed one bit since the Nationals won the World Series. If anything, the major participants in this division appear to be growing even more competitive with each other. The task facing the Braves, Phillies and Mets this winter is crystal clear: Overtake the Nationals. In the case of the...

What to make of other clubs' pursuits of Rendon and Strasburg

What to make of other clubs' pursuits of Rendon and Strasburg
Stephen Strasburg and Anthony Rendon are free agents. They've been free agents for a month now. One or both could still end up re-signing with the Nationals. But right now, they're free agents. Which means they're free to talk to any club that wants to talk to them. It all sounds so basic, but sometimes we tend to forget basic matters. As much as everyone in Washington wants to believe Strasburg and Rendon prefer to return to the only franchise they've ever played for, you just don't...

As celebrations wrap up, time for Nats to get back to work

As celebrations wrap up, time for Nats to get back to work
They gathered Monday evening at The Anthem along the Southwest Waterfront, Mark Lerner and Mike Rizzo and Ryan Zimmerman and several thousand Nationals fans who wanted to watch the premiere of the official 2019 World Series documentary and celebrate the ballclub's achievement en masse one more time. Lerner talked about the moment he knew his team was going to win the series (when Astros manager A.J. Hinch pulled the dominant Zack Greinke up 2-1 in the seventh inning of Game 7). Rizzo talked...

Guerra non-tendered, Nationals will bring back others

Guerra non-tendered, Nationals will bring back others
The Nationals did not tender contracts to relievers Javy Guerra and Koda Glover before tonight's league-mandated deadline, essentially releasing both right-handers, though the oft-injured Glover had already announced his retirement earlier this afternoon. The club did tender contracts to four other arbitration-eligible players: Trea Turner, Michael A. Taylor, Joe Ross and Roenis Elías. None of those players have agreed to terms on 2020 contracts yet, as Wilmer Difo and Hunter Strickland did...

Unable to overcome injuries, Glover retires at 26

Unable to overcome injuries, Glover retires at 26
Unable to get himself healthy enough to pitch this year after missing much of the previous two seasons with various injuries, Nationals reliever Koda Glover surprisingly announced his retirement from professional baseball this afternoon. "I write to you all today with great despair, that I will be announcing my retirement from professional baseball," the 26-year-old wrote in a message posted to his Twitter account. "I have experienced a number of injuries the past three years and I believe...

Nationals face several decisions at deadline (Strickland signed)

Nationals face several decisions at deadline (Strickland signed)
It's non-tender day across Major League Baseball, a day when a handful of players from each club worry they might get dumped but in most cases survive to live another day. How's this all work? Well, players who are eligible for salary arbitration - those with more than three years but fewer than six years of big league service time - must be tendered a contract by 8 p.m. today. All that means is that teams must declare their intention to sign those players to 2020 contracts. They don't have...

Nats sign Difo for $1 million, avoiding arbitration
The Nationals have agreed to terms with Wilmer Difo on a 2020 contract that will pay the utility infielder $1 million if he's on the big league roster, a source familiar with the deal confirmed this afternoon. The signing, which was first reported by USA Today, comes one day before Major League Baseball's deadline for clubs to tender contracts to all arbitration-eligible players. It means Difo and the Nationals will avoid going to arbitration, but it doesn't guarantee him the full $1...
