The Washington Nationals finished the 2025 season with a disappointing record of 66-96. The 2024 offseason was filled with optimism from the front office, only to see GM Mike Rizzo and Manager Davey Martinez fired in July. The 2025 season was arguably the worst-case scenario for the Nats, 30 games under .500 in year five of the rebuild. Despite the negativity of the 2025 season, two rookies made an immediate impact for the Nationals: Daylen Lile and Brad Lord.
