Yesterday, Baseball America officially released its Top 30 Prospect List, as prospect-ranking season continues… As a system, Washington has fallen to #15 and will likely fall further once BA releases its next update (i.e., once Dylan Crews graduates). This despite including a Rule 5 pickup for the third straight year. This is logically consistent given …
Top 100 season, formerly known as the Hot Stove, resumed yesterday with the release of Keith Law’s Top 100 Prospects for 2025($), which included three Washington Nationals prospects… just not the same three as Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, as Keith Law’s Top 100 prospects were released yesterday. Dylan Crews – 7 Law acknowledges the …
With the release of the 2025 edition, that’s three straight years with multiple players on the MLB Pipeline Top 100 for the Washington Nationals. Alas, it’s SSDL as it’s the same three guys that were on the BA counterpart: Dylan Crews, Travis Sykora, and Jarlin Susana. Crews is ranked #4 in what should be his …
A few quick items to clean house before the next Top 100 list, which I beleive will be the MLB Pipeline today. NATS ANNOUNCE 2025 NON-ROSTER INVITES Among the list, are the following watchlist players: C – Caleb Lomavita, Max Romero Jr. IF – Brady House, Yoyo Morales, Cayden Wallace OF – Daylen Lile, Andrew …
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 …
