The Washington Nationals organization's focus has shifted to 2026. Hiring Paul Taboni as the Head of Baseball Operations was the first phase of an overhaul in D.C. A shift at the top of the organization won't be the only chance in the organization this offseason. When focusing on the Major League roster, how much change is possible? It would be shocking to see the entire 25-man roster be completely different in 2026. Important decisions will have to be made about how to distribute playing time next season. One player forced his way onto the scene in '25 and should see an expanded role for the Nats in '26.
