Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The Nationals won their first championship in 2019, and after stumbling to a losing record in 2020, they began rebuilding. They traded Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in 2021, and Juan Soto in 2022.

It was a terrible first inning for the Mariners, in what would eventually be an 8-3 loss to the Nationals on Saturday. Cole Young flew out on the first pitch of the game. Julio Rodríguez struck out on the next three. And Josh Naylor popped out on the first pitch he saw. That’s right: Nationals’ […]

Despite the loss last night, Nationals fans still got to see the James Wood show up close and personal. The Nats 23 year old slugger hit one of his majestic shots off of Bryce Miller. Unlike most of his home runs, this ball was pulled and got out of Nationals Park in a hurry. As […]
