Unlike football, this is never too soon. Just one more day of breathless stories about batting practice. he You can tune in to the nationals feed on MLB.com tomorrow night to hear Charlie & Dave, or set the DVR for the tape-delay on MLB Network at 10 p.m. By the way, the MLB interns got …
While we may not know the corresponding moves yet (if any), the Nats have signed some pitchers for some upper-minors depth: LHP Richard Bleier RHP Luke Farrell RHP Robert Gsellman RHP Steve Nogosek These are the moves reported by Baseball America in its latest transaction post. Other notable transactions this month, reported elsewhere: Signed RHP …
Today, pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach. Next Tuesday, it’s the position players. In ten days, ST games begin. Like Valentine’s Day itself, there’s quite a gap between the hopes and the reality (except for the young and/or newly coupled, natch). But the offseason is over and now we’re in the preseason. Unlike …
I guess this is the Nats’ PR telling us “bloggers” to STFU about no news?! And it’s certainly a far cry from three years ago. This year it’s seven games on MASN, and perhaps one or two more on the MLB Network if/when the interns get around to updating this page one on the MLB …

Alas, we are still waiting for word on who will be coaching for the affiliates this year or what game(s) will be televised… and we’re less than a week from pitchers and catchers reporting and/or finding out which players are in the “Best Shape of my Life.”

Perhaps lost in the excitement over getting yet another Boras client in need of a change of secenery, longtime watchlister C Israel Pineda was taken off the 40-man. Yesterday, he was outrighted to Rochester.
The Red Wings also announced yesterday that 2023 MVP Travis Blankenhorn has been re-signed and extended an non-roster invite to Spring Training, joining:
Sorry. That’s it. The so-called Hot Stove might warm your hands, but can’t fry an egg.
For the second straight year, the Nationals have multiple players in the MLB Pipeline Top 100. The usual suspect—Cade Cavalli—has dropped out, as have Robert Hassell and Elijah Green. James Wood remains from 2023 while Brady House returns after a one-year absence. The Coming Thing, a.k.a. Dylan Crews, completes the triad and comes in at …
While the prospect book is not yet in hand, Baseball America’s Top 30 has been released. The MLB Pipeline is hot on their heels with the Top 100 expected today. So let’s get to it, shall we?
