WASHINGTON -- The Nationals could be one of the most intriguing teams to watch during the Winter Meetings next week in suburban Washington because of the range of actions available to them.
They must decide on the best way to improve a team that won 95 games and the National League East before losing in five games in the NL Division Series. On one hand, Washington could act aggressively and make a major free-agent signing or pull off a blockbuster trade. Or the Nats could act more conservatively, making small improvements without shaking things up since so much of their core is returning.
