The Washington Nationals are at an interesting point in the franchise's timeline. Six years removed from a World Series victory, the Nats find themselves in the basement of the Major Leagues. From 2012-2019, Washington competed for an NL East title each season. Nowadays, the Nationals are consistently battling for last place in the division.
The 2025 season was a letdown due to unrealistic expectations set by former President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo, which ultimately led to his firing. Paul Toboni has been hired as his replacement and will likely install a complete rebuild of the organization.
