Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The Washington Nationals have signed Chase Brunson, Luke Williams and Cooper Harris. Those three were the second, third and fourth rounders in this year’s draft. While first rounder and local kid Chris Hacopian will take up most of the headlines, these three are also part of the foundation of Paul Toboni’s first draft. I am […]
The Colorado Rockies have begun the second half of their season with a series loss against the Cincinnati Reds at home. Tonight, they begin a three-game set against the Washington Nationals and then set out on the road to face the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres. There are 61 games left in the season, […]
The Nats are back to their series winning ways to open the second half. As they have been all season, the Nats were road warriors in Sacramento, winning two out of three. This felt like a must win game for the Nats, who are on the outskirts of the playoff race. With their ace on […]
The club dropped the final game of their weekend series to the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon, falling 5-2 to drop the A’s to 42-57. Left-hander Jacob Lopez got the ball for today’s start, his first real starting assignment at the big league level since being removed from the rotation in mid-May. He looked in […]
After the Nats kicked the A’s teeth in Friday night, beating them 23-4, the A’s returned the favor last night, with starter JT Ginn taking a no-hitter into the 7th inning and beating the Nats 15-1. The Nats will now look to take the rubber match of the series with Foster Griffin on the bump. […]
Can we make it two in a row? One day after snapping the losing streak the Athletics have a chance to make it two in a row, something they haven’t done in a while. Lefty Jacob Lopez will return to the starting rotation beginning with this afternoon’s start. He’s getting another chance to prove he […]
The Nationals announced this afternoon that they’ve signed left-hander Matt Krook to a major league deal and activated him. He takes the place of PJ Poulin on the active roster, with Poulin going on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to July 16th) for a left flexor strain. To clear space on the 40-man roster, Richard […]
An all-time MLB record already fell in 2026 and most fans missed it. From the Nationals' historic blown save pace to Schwarber chasing Babe Ruth and Ryan Howard, here's every record in real danger before the season ends, and when each chase gets decided.
The Athletics took on the Washington Nationals in the second game of this three-game interleague series at West Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park. This game was a complete reversal of Friday night’s opener, as the A’s scored early and often en route to a 15–1 victory that had to feel good for a club that had […]
Last night, the Athletics kicked off the second half the same way they finished the first half, suffering an embarrassing 23-4 defeat to kick off this three-game series against the Washington Nationals. The team’s change at pitching coach did not provide an immediate boost, as several A’s pitchers combined to allow 18 runs in another […]
This morning an interesting report came out that the Nationals have been talking with other teams about Luis Garcia Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. Garcia’s name has not been mentioned as much in trade rumors as the likes of CJ Abrams or Foster Griffin. However, moving the first baseman at the peak of his […]
TIGER RAG NEWS SERVICES SACRAMENTO, California – There couldn’t have been many better times for LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson to go home than this weekend. One of his best former Tiger players, power hitter [...] The post LSU’s Tommy White Doubles In MLB Debut, But A’s Lose 23-4 To Nats And Dylan Crews With Jay Johnson There appeared first on TigerRag.com .
If the Washington Nationals decide to part with breakout first baseman Luis García Jr., the Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks and Miami Marlins should come knocking.
Nationals first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. is drawing trade attention from “multiple teams,” according to The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Spencer Nusbaum. None of the talks have gone beyond “a preliminary stage,” as the Nats are still evaluating their plans heading into the August 3 trade deadline. One natural complication to a Garcia trade is […]
Last night the Nats delivered a beatdown the likes of which I have not seen in many years. Everyone ate in Sacramento, with the Nats putting up an absurd 23 runs. Those 23 runs are tied for the second most in franchise history. Once the Nats got into the A’s bullpen, things just spiraled out […]
TODAY: The Nats officially called up Ford yesterday, and manager Blake Butera revealed (to team reporter Alexa Datt and other media) that Millas underwent surgery on his left index finger. It doesn’t appear as the surgery will threaten Millas’ season, as Butera said “hopefully…it’s not too long a recovery process.” This latest procedure removed a […]
The Washington Nationals could consider cashing in on infielder Luis García Jr.'s career-best 2026 season with a trade.
The “Second Half” of the 2026 MLB season began tonight for the Athletics against the Washington Nationals at Sutter Health Park in West Sac. After finishing the first half on a nine-game losing streak, the team hopes to get off on the right foot against the Nats. Gage Jump made the start for the A’s, […]
We have gotten some time to decompress and get away from Nationals baseball, but now we are back. The Nats head out west to play the Athletics in Sacramento. With two strong lineups and a small ballpark, there could be some fireworks on display this weekend. The big news in today’s lineup is that Harry […]
The “Second Half” of the 2026 MLB season begins tonight for the Athletics. They’ll pick up at home in West Sacramento against the Washington Nationals at 6:40 p.m. After finishing the first half on a nine-game losing streak, the team hopes to get off on the right foot against a Nationals team which sits in […]
July 17: The A’s have now announced also these moves, including Rooker’s transfer to the 60-day IL. July 15: The A’s will call up infielder Tommy White for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. It’ll be the major league debut for the former LSU star. The team’s transaction log at […]
Say what you like about the extra wild-card, it has certainly made things interesting. There’s really only a handful of teams in the NL who are out of the picture. Five (the Rockies, Giants, Mets, Reds and Nationals) currently have playoff odds below four percent, according to Fangraphs. Everyone else is at least in double […]
The New York Mets are in desperate need of a reset, with Juan Soto as their North Star. These trade deadline moves would bring on a new era in Queens.
The All-Star break has come to a close, and that means it’s time for real baseball to once again commence. A 3-game sweep courtesy of the New York Yankees left a sour taste in the mouths of Nats’ fans going into the break, despite an otherwise productive month of July to date, and now it’s […]
Assuming the planned Nats trajectory is "do nothing, see you in 2027" do you want a mini-run after the break to get your hopes up? I say sure. Better baseball is better baseball even in the pursuit of nothing. Do you have a goal win total for the end of the year .500 or bust! Do you want to see these guys traded or re-signed (let's assume reasonable market contract - which means decently big but not crazy Miles Mikolas or Zack Littell? Take the bag of balls. Foster Grif...
