Lefty Braymer is Nats' lone addition to 40-man roster
The Nationals have added Ben Braymer to their 40-man roster, protecting the minor league left-hander from being swooped up by another club in next month's Rule 5 draft.

Braymer, 25, was an 18th round draft pick in 2016 who was named the organization's...

Ex-Nats Soriano and Dunn make Hall of Fame ballot

Ex-Nats Soriano and Dunn make Hall of Fame ballot
Though they spent more time playing for other franchises in other cities, Alfonso Soriano and Adam Dunn both are remembered fondly for their time with the Nationals. And so there were probably more than a few hearts warmed today when both players were included among the 32 candidates on this year's Hall of Fame ballot. Neither Soriano nor Dunn is expected to receive anywhere close to the 75 percent support necessary for enshrinement in Cooperstown, and there's a chance neither receives even...

Nats ensure draft pick compensation if Strasburg, Rendon leave
Stephen Strasburg and Anthony Rendon, to no one's surprise, turned down qualifying offers from the Nationals before today's deadline, leaving both free agents open to sign with any of Major League Baseball's 30 clubs while ensuring the Nats would receive draft pick compensation if either of them plays elsewhere in 2020. The one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer was extended to 10 major league free agents, including Strasburg and Rendon, on Nov. 4. The players could have accepted the offer...

Martinez finishes fifth in NL Manager of the Year voting

Martinez finishes fifth in NL Manager of the Year voting
At this point, two weeks into November, nobody would dare suggest Davey Martinez didn't play a major role in leading the Nationals to their first World Series title and didn't deserve to be honored for it. But all ballots for National League Manager of the Year were submitted before the start of the postseason, and on the final day of September, Martinez's work hadn't yet been fully appreciated. Which explains why the Nats skipper finished a distant fifth in voting that was revealed...

Robles finishes sixth in NL Rookie of the Year voting
In a normal year, Victor Robles' performance might have been enough to warrant serious consideration for Rookie of the Year honors. This, however, was no normal year, which meant the Nationals center fielder wound up well down the list in voting among his fellow first-year players. Robles finished sixth in the race for 2019 National League Rookie of the Year, an award that went to Mets first baseman Pete Alonso in overwhelming fashion. Alonso, who set a new major league record for home runs by...
