In his first full season in the majors in 2019, Victor Robles helped the Washington Nationals win the World Series.
Summing up Victor Robles’s performance in his first full major league campaign, Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez told reporters during Washington’s run to the World Series title that the 22-year-old outfielder showed signs of improvement at the plate and out in center field over the course of the season.
“He’s definitely matured in many ways,” Martinez explained....

So, if the decision had to be made right now, it would be Carter Kieboom at third base with Trea Turner at short, Starlin Castro at second base, and Eric Thames/Howie Kendrick (and Ryan Zimmerman, eventually, right?) at first base around the Washington Nationals’ infield in 2020. Davey Martinez talked last night about giving...
With two seasons under his belt, Juan Soto still has a lot to learn, but he’s off to a good start in his MLB career.
The numbers Juan Soto put up in 2019 (.282/.401/.548, 32 doubles, 34 HRs, 142 wRC+, 4.8 fWAR in 150 games and 659 plate appearances), look a lot like the stats he posted as a first-year player in 2018 (.292/.406/.517, 25 2B, 22 HRs, 145 wRC+, 3.7 fWAR in 116 G and 494 PAs).
Soto, 21, avoided a sophomore slump last season, and adjusted to what opposing pitchers were trying...
The Nationals plan to give Carter Kieboom an opportunity to win the third base job, manager Dave Martinez told reporters (including Todd Dybas of NBC Sports Washington). The 22-year-old is a consensus top prospect coming off a year in which he hit .303/.409/.493 with 16 home runs in 494 plate appearances. Kieboom has played mostly in the middle infield in the minors, but Martinez indicated he’ll be used strictly as a third baseman for the time being. Washington didn't previously have...

It took a little longer than everyone expected, but a big offseason domino finally fell on Tuesday night as Josh Donaldson spurned the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves in favor of a four-year deal with the Minnesota Twins.
Though there were reports that the Nationals were still in the mix for the former Braves third baseman, it appears as though...
Trea Turner talked this past weekend about the surgical procedure which finally fixed the finger he broke last April.
Trea Turner took a pitch off his right index finger just four games into the 2019 campaign, but returned to the lineup six weeks later, and played out the regular season with a finger which wasn’t completely functional.
Turner, 26, still managed to put up a solid .298/.353/.497 line with 37 doubles, five triples, and 19 homers in 122 games and 569 plate appearances...

Former Washington Nationals first baseman and current free agent Ryan Zimmerman strapped on the pads Wednesday and played goalie at a Washington Capitals practice. Ahead of his on-ice experience, the World Series champion admitted he was a little freaked out about the situation. “Hey, I’m Ryan Zimmerman.

Josh Donaldson is a Twin. Not a National. Not a Brave. Carter Kieboom’s chances of playing third in D.C. in 2020 just got a lot better. Will he start the season in the Nationals’ lineup? Is he going to start at Triple-A and work his way up? Will Mike Rizzo and Co. pivot to a Plan C or Plan...

Once Will Harris signed with the Nationals, Daniel Hudson thought his chance to return was over, but then they came back to the reliever who recorded the final out of the World Series.
Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo talked at WinterFest this past weekend about why he was comfortable giving multi-year deals to 30-plus-year-old relievers in Daniel Hudson and Will Harris.
“Will Harris’s track record is second to none,” Rizzo explained.
Hudson,...
Josh Donaldson is a Twin, so who’s going to play third for the Nationals in 2020?
As of Saturday afternoon, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo said that he hadn’t closed the door on the possibility of signing free agent Josh Donaldson.
Any possibility of that happening officially ended on Tuesday night when the 34-year-old, 10-year veteran reportedly agreed to a 4-year/$92M deal with the Minnesota Twins.
So how will the Nationals fill the hole at third base left by Anthony Rendon’s...

Two days after WinterFest weekend the stories are still trickling out, and the 2019 World Series champion Washington Nationals and their fans got to breathe a collective sigh of relief on Monday with the revelations of the Houston Astros’ elaborate (trash-can-aided) attempts to steal signs and trophies finally resulting in some harsh (fitting) punishment.
As someone says below, thankfully...
Sean Doolittle and Mike Rizzo talked this past weekend about the relievers the Nationals added to the mix in the last few weeks...
Speaking about the bullpen depth in Washington during the Winter Meetings in December, Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez said he hoped the front office would add a couple late-inning arms to complement closer Sean Doolittle before they were done building the roster for the 2020 campaign.
“I like what [Tanner Rainey] did towards the end of the year,”...

The right-hander, who signed with the Nationals on July 2, 2017, was just 23 years old. Nationals director of Latin American scouting Fausto Severino confirmed the report to Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes, calling it a tragedy for both the Segura family and the Nationals organization. “You are never prepared to see someone so...
Carter Kieboom should get another opportunity in the majors in 2020, and he’s ready for it...
Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez talked at the Winter Meetings about the top infield prospect in the organization, Carter Kieboom, and where the 22-year-old, former first round pick (2016) is in his development at this point.
How far away is he from contributing at the big league level for the Nationals after making his MLB debut early last season?
