About this episode
Washington Nationals’ quiet offseason sparks debate—are patient moves laying a foundation for 2026 success or signaling trouble ahead? Ryan Clary and Bobby Blanco break down the front office’s calculated approach, new leadership under Paul Toboni and the glaring need for bullpen and first-base upgrades. Will the Nationals finally splash on free agents, or are they content hunting for undervalued veteran relievers and trade chips as spring training looms? The spotlight turns to MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams—should Washington trade away its young core or double down on their development? Hear why Gore’s value may peak by the deadline and why Abrams’ blend of speed and power should make him a franchise cornerstone.
