The Washington Nationals are without star outfielder, James Wood and star shortstop
(or second baseman, I guess), CJ Abrams. They have been one of the worst teams in
MLB since late July, which is to say that they probably will not finish with a winning record
in 2026, but can pull some levers that could help them earn one in 2027. We talk about
whether they need their platoon bats like Brady House, Dylan Crews and Daylen Lile to
step up, whether Cade Cavalli can cross the 200 strikeout threshold, whether pitchers could
transition from starters to relievers and how players like Keibert Ruiz, Jacob Young and
Andres Chaparro factor in to the long-term plans.
