It's been a slow offseason to date, to say the least. The World Series ended more than a month ago, and the Nationals have yet to acquire a major league player, whether via free agency or trade. The good news: There are still more than two months to go before pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach, Fla. And there are tons of available unsi

Among the many questions to land in the recent mailbag was one that I put aside to give it a little more thought and provide a more expansive response. Who will get more starts in center field next season, Cedric Mullins or Colton Cowser? The immediate response is Mullins because he’s exclusively a center fielder and Cowser is first in line for lef
