It’s Top 100 season again, and the Nats have held serve with three Nats making Baseball America’s 2025 Top 100 prospects. Two of three are here for the first time, as James Wood—last year’s #11–graduated to the big club while Brady House was dropped from the list (though ostensibly not too far off as MLB …
Two multi-million dollar signingss from Venezuela headline Washington’s 2025 International Free Agents. Brayan Cortesia, 17, is a 6’2″, 180 lb. shortstop described as “a plus runner who projects to stay in the infield and has a good shot to remain a shortstop [with] above-average arm.” His bonus has been pegged at $1.92 million. Daniel Hernandez, …
Just your annual January post to let the SEO bots that the site is still up and running. As the visual pun suggests, I’ve been filling in the player reports for the 2025 Watchlist while we wait for the calendar to flip back to 1933 next week spring. I’m about halfway through, punting on some …
This may be a little bit old, but it’s January and we take what we can get…
Earlier this week, the Nats announced two signings:
Both were added to the Red Wings roster. Neither were invited to spring training as an NRI.
Armstrong split time between AA and AAA for the Dodgers, making 32 total appearances with a record of 7-4, an ERA of 3.41 and a WHIP of 1.38. He’ll turn 24 in July.
De La Cruz also split time between AA and AAA but for the Phillies. He posted a line of .234/.302/.367 with 11HR and 53RBI in 113 games.
As noted in the comments, former prospect Joan Adon was DFA’d to make room for free-agent signee OF Amed Rosario. If he clears waivers, he’ll likely join the (motley) crew in Rochester.
Here’s hoping you made it through yesterday’s snowstorm without incident. Our official stance on snow—from NationalsProspects.com’s original copyeditor—remains the same. For the sake of keeping the proverbial lights on, water running through the pipes, etc. – here are a few, um, minor items spotted recently: ● Baseball America released its latest transaction post yesterday, except …
Sorry. Just a post to let you (and the search engines, natch) know we’re still here. As per usual, I’ve begun work on the 2025 player pages, having finished off the catchers (and trying not to feel old since all three of ’em are younger than my youngest son). I’ve also updated the Road Trips …
Some years are easier than others to write this sort of thing. That may explain why there are some years that this was done and some years that it wasn’t. Or I just simply could have had a lot going on and didn’t get to it. So let’s take a spin through a tumultuous year …
It’s time to [HR]defecate or depart the commode[/HR] on this item, so let’s get going towards one of the last items of the offseason before we vainly hope for something to talk about that’s remotely minors-oriented. Perhaps the thing that stands out the most about this year’s edition is how much larger the second row …
It’s the Monday before both Christmas and Chanukah, Festivus for the rest of us, or National Pfeffernusse Day.
If you’re lucky, you were able to get today and tomorrow off and ease into the holidays. If you decided not to take the PTO on a day that’s probably going to be slow, that’s okay too.
Otherwise, my wish is that you’re where you want to be, with whom you want to be, and all your to-do’s are done.
