Latest blog entries from Washington teams across every league
Last week was the start of Brandon Aiyuk’s return to social media and our return to overanalyzing everything. Friday, the campaign continued with Aiyuk posting in Washington, D.C., of all places. So why is Washington, D.C., so important? Because that’s where the Washington Commanders are, and everyone has speculated Aiyuk would end up in some […]

The Mariners are finishing out their long road trip with an interleague set against the Nationals and things got off to a tough start with a two-hour-plus rain delay, their second of the season (glares in the general direction of Minnesota). Rain delays historically haven’t been kind to the Mariners, but today they overcame the […]

East coast road trips to stadiums without roofs are the pits. Today’s series opener between the Mariners and Nationals will begin in a delay due to bad weather in the area. We’ll post the latest updates here as well as the general game preview information. If the game is played, this post will also serve […]
That loss to the Giants was absolutely brutal, but the great thing about baseball is that there are 162 of these games. The Nats will get a chance to bounce back as they kick off their home stand with a matchup against the Mariners. This team has been resilient all year, but this is a […]
Acquiring CJ Abrams from the Washington Nationals would give the New York Yankees time to salvage Anthony Volpe's career.
The Washington Capitals received a big mention in the NHL’s All-Star voting. That mention being Logan Thompson receiving a big […]
Despite the bullpen meltdown the other day, the Nationals are not making any changes to the active roster. Mitchell Parker and Paxton Schultz are staying around despite their roles in blowing a 9-1 lead. Teams were 1-3,090 when trailing by 8+ runs after 7 innings, but the Giants got that second win. Honestly the lack […]
The Commanders released center Tyler Biadasz on Feb. 26, well before NFL free agency began. They didn’t sign a replacement during a period where they were flush with cap space and spent big in others areas of perceived need. Washington didn’t conclude free-agency’s early waves with a tight budget. They still have plenty of salary-cap space should they choose to use it. Washington […]
The Nationals announced that they have claimed right-hander Jhancarlos Lara from the Braves and optioned him to Double-A Harrisburg. In a corresponding move, the Nats designated righty Julian Fernandez for assignment. When the Braves selected Lara’s contract last September, Baseball America, MLB.com and FanGraphs each ranked him among the team’s 25 best prospects. There were […]
The Nationals’ West Coast trip was a successful one, taking 2 out of 3 in both series and bringing themselves back over .500, but the way the final game of the trip ended, it felt like a disaster. After entering the bottom of the 8th inning leading 9-1, the Nats surrendered 10 runs in the […]
Projected No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa already has lofty expectations for his NBA future and believes he can help the Washington Wizards reach the postseason immediately. As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches on June 23 and June 24 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Dybantsa made a bold promise regarding Washington, which owns the No. […] The post AJ Dybantsa makes Wizards playoff promise ahead of NBA Draft appeared first on ClutchPoints .
AJ Dybantsa's confidence is hard not to notice as the Wizards' draft decision looms.
After a strong start to their series in Baltimore, the Mariners had to settle for a split series after two lackluster efforts on Wednesday and Thursday. That eight-game win streak a week ago is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Seattle’s overall place in the standings. It feels like the team has slipped back […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed former first-round linebacker Jamin Davis to a one-year deal last week. The former Commanders draft pick out of Kentucky spent 2025 with the Las Vegas Raiders, appearing in two games under then-defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who now holds the same position in Pittsburgh. The Steelers aren’t done looking at former Raiders, […]
Dan Quinn was asked about the Commanders running back room and the competition. This type of question always prompts a list of names and traits associated with them, and Washington’s head coach obliged that type of response. He started with newcomer and fifth-year veteran Rachaad White. What he said was interesting. “I’ve been pleased with the additions […]
After six years as the Atlanta Hawks’ top executive, Travis Schlenk chose to move into an advisory role with Atlanta in Dec. 2022. He joined the Washington Wizards organization in 2023. Landry Fields, a former player and scout for the San Antonio Spurs, was hired by the Hawks as an Assistant General Manager in 2020. […] The post Landry Fields Set The Atlanta Hawks Back appeared first on The Lead .
When Eli Willits was drafted first overall last year, he was seen as a very polished and skilled ballplayer for such a young guy. He had great bat to ball skills from both sides of the plate, a rock solid glove at shortstop, and an overall high baseball IQ. However, scouts were not sure how […]
The Washington Wizards have won just one NBA title, but that doesn’t mean they’ve lacked elite prospects. Before winning the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, Washington had made four No. 1 picks since 1960. With another talented prospect soon arriving in D.C., let’s look at where AJ Dybantsa — the potential No. 1 pick in the […]

From the moment Anthony Davis landed with the Washington Wizards last season, the length of his stay in D.C. became a hot topic.
Due to the bullpen collapse it will be mostly forgotten, but Foster Griffin had yet another rock solid start yesterday. He has been such an outstanding addition to the rotation, and signing him out of Japan has proven to be an outstanding deal for Paul Toboni. On the season, Griffin now has a 3.46 ERA […]
