I’ll admit to dragging my feet on this a little, but knowing that most people are back to work/school today, it’s time to check off one the last items for the offseason and starting working on the player capsules, a.k.a. the deeper dive that I can’t takie in-season because, well, too much other stuff to …

If you have to ask who’s pictured and why, please do not get behind the wheel of a motorized vehicle, use sharp implements, or operate power tools… 2025 may prove to be a watershed year for fans of the Nationals minors, as the following ten stories should demonstrate. There were debuts – both delayed and …

Knowing that this is the new normal, I have resisted doing a “keep-the-lights-on” post. But a week between posts is probably reason enough. Most of the Natmosphere’s focus right now is on the big club and the remaking of the front office and the major-league coaching staff. That ain’t my lane. This is a minors …

A year ago today, I got a call from my wife about a bulldog she wanted to “foster for two weeks.” After losing two dogs in 2024—one to cancer, the other to old age—we had thought we were going to be taking a long break from having pets. That lasted a little more than four …

With the addition of six new throw…er, pitchers via the Rule 5 draft, we have a somewhat less shallow pool of guys from which to draw. Like a year ago, the Nats are short on pitching prospects, though the two best are 6’6″ (*rimshot!*) One is almost certain not throw a pitch that counts north …

The Rule 5 Draft has become a thing for the Nats in the 2020s For the third time in five years, Washington has taken multiple players – one in the MLB phase, six in the minor league phase.As noted two years ago, many of these signings appear to be in lieu of signing free agent, …

After winning the #1 pick in the ’25 Draft last December, and the #2 two pick for the 2023 Draft in December, the best the Nats could do was the #11 pick. And that’s exactly what happened. It’s the second time in three years Washington has secured the best possible pick given the rules preventing …

The Ferrer-for-Ford trade kind of messed things up, so I made the executive decision to slot the Nats’ latest trade acquisition at #2 and drop everyone one spot while expanding the list by one.
