Nationals Roster Shakeup: José Tena, Mitchell Parker Out | Toboni's 2027 Plans
The Washington Nationals are making major roster decisions as Paul Toboni begins reshaping the team for 2027. José Tena has been designated for assignment, Mitchell Parker has been claimed by the Atlanta Braves, and Paxton Schultz is headed to Cincinnati. Meanwhile, PJ Poulin and Ken Waldichuk are among the pitchers whose Nationals futures have come to an end. Dan Holmi breaks down the Nationals' 40-man roster moves, what these departures mean for the bullpen, why Parker and Tena became expendable, and what Paul Toboni needs to accomplish next. Are these simply necessary roster cuts, or the beginning of a much bigger Nationals offseason rebuild? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Washington Nationals face important decisions heading into the 2027 season. Dan Holmi breaks down whether the Nationals should keep or trade CJ Abrams after his 33-home-run, 106-RBI season, why his late-season slump and defensive numbers deserve attention, and what his future at shortstop could look like.

James Wood’s 2026 Season: Are the Nationals’ Biggest Star’s Second-Half Struggles a Problem?
James Wood just completed another 30-home-run season for the Washington Nationals, but his 2026 campaign came with a major warning sign. Dan Holmi breaks down Wood’s elite first half, his second-half power outage, the oblique injury, his Statcast dominance and why the Nationals still need to view him as one of the foundational pieces of their rebuild. The bigger question heading into 2027 is whether James Wood can finally put together a full season at an MVP level. With Wood, CJ Abrams and a developing young core, the Nationals have legitimate reasons for optimism, but Wood’s durability, consistency and second-half production could determine just how quickly Washington takes its next step. #Nationals #Nats #Natitude #JamesWood #MLB #WashingtonNationals #Baseball #NatsOnTheRise Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nationals 2026 Season Review: CJ Abrams, Pitching, Bullpen & 2027 Offseason Questions
The Washington Nationals’ 2026 season is over, and for the first time in years, the offseason is about building instead of rebuilding. Dan Holmi breaks down what the Nationals’ 11-win improvement means, why pitching and the bullpen are the biggest questions, and what comes next for CJ Abrams, James Wood and the young core. The Nationals finished third in MLB in runs scored, CJ Abrams hit 33 home runs, James Wood hit 30, and Cade Cavalli, Connelly Early and Andrew Alvarez give the rotation a foundation. But the bullpen blew a major league-record 42 saves, Jake Irvin finished with a 5.48 ERA, and a potential MLB lockout could dramatically alter free agency and trades. Plus, the Nationals still have to determine whether CJ Abrams is their long-term shortstop or second baseman. Dan also looks at Paul Toboni and Blake Butera’s offseason challenges, Nasim Nuñez, Seaver King, Eli Willits, Dylan Crews, Brady House and what the Nationals need to do to turn a promising 2026 season into sustained success in 2027.

Cade Cavalli Extension Nears Deal: Nationals Finally Commit to Their Ace | Nats MinuteCast
Cade Cavalli and the Nationals are reportedly nearing a long-term contract extension, potentially marking a major turning point in the franchise’s rebuild. After battling back from Tommy John surgery, Cavalli has emerged as one of the Nationals’ most reliable starters in 2026. The deal could signal a new approach for the Nationals: developing young talent and then actually keeping it. We break down Cavalli’s breakout season, the significance of the reported extension, and what it could mean for the Nationals’ next competitive window. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jarlin Susana Is Throwing 103 MPH Again: Starter or Future Nationals Bullpen Weapon? | Nats MinuteCast
Jarlin Susana is back, and the Nationals have a major decision ahead. The 22-year-old pitching prospect is once again touching 103 mph, but after a UCL sprain, lat surgery and just 14 innings in 2026, questions about his long-term role are getting louder. In this Nats MinuteCast, Dan Holmi breaks down Susana's electric fastball and slider, his 408 strikeouts in 282 minor-league innings, the command and third-pitch concerns raised by Keith Law, and why a move to the bullpen could eventually make sense. But is Washington anywhere close to making that decision? The argument here is simple: don't rush it. The Nationals need to find out how good Susana can be as a starter before deciding that his future belongs in relief. His 2026 return has provided flashes of dominant stuff, but the workload is still being rebuilt. Jarlin Susana. 103 mph. The stuff is back. Now the Nationals have to figure out what comes next. #Nats #Nationals #Natitude #MLB #JarlinSusana #WashingtonNationals #NatsProspects #Baseball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nationals Have a Closer Crisis: 35 Blown Saves Forces Nats to Spend This Winter
The Washington Nationals have blown 35 saves in 2026, putting them just two away from the MLB record. After another disastrous ninth inning against the Miami Marlins, it’s time for the Nationals to stop hoping their bullpen problems will fix themselves. In this episode of Nats MinuteCast, we break down why Washington needs to make an experienced back-end reliever a major priority this offseason. The Nationals had a 2-0 lead heading into the ninth before the Marlins scored six runs to turn a potential fourth straight win into another painful loss. It was the latest example of a bullpen that has repeatedly cost Washington games this season. But this isn't about blaming one pitcher or one bad inning. It's about recognizing that the Nationals are reaching a different stage of their rebuild. Washington's young offense is becoming a legitimate foundation. The farm system is improving. The roster is more talented than its record suggests. And that means the Nationals can't afford to keep wasting opportunities because they don't have someone they trust to get the final three outs. We discuss Blake Butera's call for a pitcher who wants the ball in the ninth, the bullpen arms already developing inside the organization, the potential free-agent market, and why spending money on an experienced closer or high-leverage reliever could be one of the smartest moves Washington makes this winter. The rebuild is changing. Now the Nationals need to act like it. In This Episode: The Nationals' 35 blown saves The disastrous ninth inning against Miami Why Washington needs experienced bullpen help Clayton Beeter, Orlando Ribalta and the developing relief corps Why prospects alone can't be the 2027 bullpen plan The case for spending this offseason How the Nationals can protect their improving young offense Why the ninth inning could define Washington's next step Nats MinuteCast covers the Washington Nationals, Nationals Park, MLB news, roster moves, prospects, trades, free agency and the future of the Nats. #Nationals #Nats #Natitude #MLB #WashingtonNationals #NationalsBaseball #NatsNews #MLBNews #NatsMinuteCast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
