The Washington Nationals are World Series champions, but it seems like ESPN may not have gotten the memo about that.
ESPN released the schedule for the first 16 Sunday Night Baseball games of the upcoming 2020 season, and the Nationals are nowhere to be found. Not one of the first 16 games of ESPN’s marquee baseball program will feature the 2019 champs.
The schedule isn’t complete (the entirety of September has yet to be announced, as well as several Sundays in July and August) but the absence of the Nationals on the early part of the schedule is glaring — especially considering some of the other teams being featured.
