Nationals Announce 2021 Spring Training Radio Schedule
Yesterday, the Nationals announced its 2021 Spring Training Schedule via the Twitters with seven games over the air, and three via the Flagship station (106.7FM):
| 106.7FM | TIME | 980AM | TIME |
| Sun. 3/14 | 1:05 p.m. | Sat. 3/13 | 6:05 p.m. |
| Sun. 3/21 | 1:05 p.m. | Tue. 3/16 | 6:05 p.m. |
| Wed. 3/24 | 6:05 p.m. | Fri. 3/19 | 6:05 p.m. |
| Sat. 3/20 | 6:05 p.m. | ||
| Thu. 3/25 | 6:05 p.m. |
There will also be two (2) season preview shows on 106.7FM, both 90 minutes and starting at 6:30 p.m., on Wednesday, March 17 and Monday, March 22. Online only games begin with three consecutive on the 9th through the 11th, then the 15th, 23rd, 28th, and the 29th.
As many have noted, the TV schedule remains sparse, with only an ESPN broadcast against the Mets on March 4th (1:10 p.m.). Yesterday, Britt Ghiroli, the former Nats beat writer (and now national MLB beat writer) for The Athletic noted:
Am told the Nats will have some games on Masn. Just. Just not announced yet. https://t.co/PyqnDyOa2D

No further details yet, but since betting has become de rigeur in sports coverage lately, anyone care to bet that it won’t be a deal with either SNY (Mets) or Fox Sports Midwest (Cardinals) to use their feed while Bob Carpenter pretends he’s not in at the MASN studios in Cockeysville, Md.?
I would be happier if betting meant more screen time without having to support MASN. I would much rather listen on the radio, anyway.
MASN can’t collapse fast enough. It’s time for the Nats to be permanently rid of the ball-and-chain that is Peter Angelos’ Orioles and their wretched RSN. Let the Nats set up a network of their own, pilfer most/all of the MASN talent that has been covering the Nats, and end this farce.
Agreed! How many times do the Angelos boys have to lose in court before something happens. It’s been years of them stringing everything along without end.
I’m not sure what MLB can do about this. They have told the Orioles they won’t get an All Star game until this is settled. A lot of the blame here goes to Bud Selig as he set everything up this way.
Last summer there was chatter about Samuel Infante after the draft now the chatter is about the $3 million dollar kid SS
One wonders if Winder Diaz is built like Yasel Antuna 160 pounds soaking wet …..
