With all this talk about new sports stadiums, the Washington Nationals don't want to be left out. Why it matters: Nats Park is getting old in stadium years (17). State of play: The team has a few early ideas to improve the fan experience — and give people more of a reason to hang out around the stadium outside of game days. The security gates would be pushed back, opening up everyday space for shops, retail and a sound stage for concerts.

Dylan Crews sucks up a lot of the attention when it comes to Washington Nationals prospects. The good news is the Nationals have a wealth of talent behind him, as shown by the organization's latest Top 30 prospects as published by Baseball America. Crews, along two other Nationals prospects, were among the Top 100 prospects in baseball as released in January. Neither is expected to help Washington at the Major League level this year.

Michael Soroka and Trevor Williams. The Nationals haven't had a winning season in five years and have back-to-back 71-win seasons. Perhaps one on a pitcher like Noah Syndergaard, a former NL East rival who is out of work. The New York Post's Dan Bartels posted this video of Syndergaard throwing during a workout that Syndergaard posted to Instagram.

The Washington Nationals are entering Spring Training with some hope for what the future can provide, but the only thing they'll be competing for is to not finish last in the NL East standings. After winning the 2019 World Series, they weren't able to follow that up with a playoff appearance in the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign, prompting them to make the hard decision to rebuild when multiple players from the championship-winning group either left in free agency or were injured. Piece by piece, the Nationals started tearing things down, and that has resulted in the most losses out of any team in Major League Baseball the past five seasons. Washington appears ready to come out on the other side, though.

There are two glaring holes on this Washington Nationals roster; third base and closer. Jose Tena, Amed Rosario, Trey Lipscomb and their star prospect Brady House are all candidates. The Nationals decided to non-tender Kyle Finnegan earlier this winter, deciding the roughly $9 million he was projected to receive wasn't worth it. Washington still needs a closer, though.

Earlier this offseason, the Washington Nationals acquired first baseman Nathaniel Lowe in a trade with the Texas Rangers. Lowe's acquisition represented yet another piece of movement on the first base front this winter. Lowe, Christian Walker, Josh Bell, Jake Burger, Josh Naylor, Carlos Santana and Paul Goldschmidt have all changed teams.

The Washington Nationals are looking to take a step forward in 2025 with another year of development under the belts of their young stars. James Wood and Dylan Crews debuted in the Majors last year, and both outfielders look to be pivotal pieces of the roster for years to come. Offensively, the Nationals are set for 2025 outside of a few potential tweaks here and there; one area that could use some improvement, however, is their starting rotation. With Fangraphs projecting MacKenzie Gore to serve as the ace and Jake Irvin as the number two pitcher in the rotation, it is not a bad unit, but it could certainly use some improvement.

Jan. 28—Seventeen-year-old infielder Ethan Holliday of Stillwater High School has signed with Adidas as its first baseball NIL athlete. The son of former MLB All-Star Matt Holliday, the Pioneer senior is committed to Oklahoma State, but he will likely be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. If that happens, he and his brother, Jackson, would be the first brothers to be selected with ...

The first that comes to mind is Brady House, the third baseman who appears to be the franchise cornerstone at that position and was likely the reason why the Nationals didn't pursue an established veteran. Similarly, Yohandy Morales could also become that guy at first base, even after Washington traded for Nathaniel Lowe this winter. While the Nationals have a rotation full of emerging talent and someone who seems to be their established ace in MacKenzie Gore, the 20-year-old right-hander offers a massive ceiling after he took many by surprise this past season following being a third-round pick in the 2023 draft.

There are a lot of reasons for Washington Nationals fans and the organization to be excited about the future. At the forefront of that foundation is left fielder James Wood, who made his MLB debut on July 1, 2024. A second round pick in the 2021 MLB draft out of IMG Academy by the San Diego Padres, he steadily moved his way up the prospect rankings. Barely a year after being selected, he was part of the package heading back to the Nationals in exchange for Juan Soto in the blockbuster trade.

The Washington Nationals have struggled to replicate the success of their first World Series title in 2019 in the five seasons since. In those five years, the Nationals have yet to make it back to the playoffs and have finished last place four times. Often, the best way to supplement a young core is with veteran leadership who can contribute heavily themselves, and there's a player out there who might just be the perfect to join the Nationals and not only play a major role on the field, but in the clubhouse as well. Christopher Hennessy of ClutchPoints named Washington as a great fit for a reunion with their former ace and current free agent Max Scherzer.

The Washington Nationals are bringing back the popular red uniforms for 2025, though with a slight twist. The uniforms are very similar to the ones the team previously wore, but they have changed up the piping patters and removed the white piping around the buttons. Phil Hecken of "Uni-Watch" also reports that the team will not have the jersey numbers on the front of the uniform, which is a deviation from the past version. Washington now has five uniforms in their set, meaning they need to get rid of one.

There are a lot of analysts and fans who feel the Washington Nationals had an underwhelming MLB offseason. The Nationals have a lot of youngsters with immense talent, headlined by left fielder James Wood and right fielder Dylan Crews. Center fielder Jacob Young is already a Gold Glove-caliber fielder. Shortstop CJ Abrams was an All-Star last year and second baseman Luis Garcia Jr. had a career year alongside of him.

It has been a somewhat busy offseason of late for the Washington Nationals, who have been trying to improve their roster heading into 2025. For the last two years, the Nationals have won 71 games. While that isn't ideal, they have been in a rebuilding mode after winning the World Series back in 2019. Last year, CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia Jr. each took a big step forward in their games.

The Washington Nationals have had a youth movement in recent years and still have some fun talent at the top of their farm system. MLB Pipeline recently released their initial Top 100 prospect rankings and it was not very kind to the Nationals. Not only did their top prospect lose his status as the number player in the pipeline, but third baseman Brady House was dropped out of the rankings completely. Roki Sasaki obviously took the No. 1 ranking, but Boston Red Sox outfielder Romany Anthony and Minnesota Twins star Walker Jenkins jumped in front, too.

The Washington Nationals were near the bottom of the MLB during the 2024 season with only 73 wins. Only five teams were victorious fewer times than them; the Miami Marlins, Colorado Rockies, Athletics, Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox. Despite that, they were one of the teams many people were keeping a close eye on coming into the offseason because there were whispers of them being ready to spend. The Nationals handed out only one multi-year contract this offseason to pitcher Trevor Williams, who re-signed with the club on a two-year, $14 million deal.
