Over the last couple years, the Washington Nationals All-Stars have mostly been there to fill the quota. Josiah Gray had a strong first half in 2023, but if he was on a different team, would it be All-Star caliber? While CJ Abrams might have made the All-Star game regardless of team, that is also up in the air.
However, this year the Washington Nationals have two slam dunk All-Stars in Abrams and James Wood. It is exciting to see star power return to DC. Back in the 2010’s, it was no surprise to see multiple Nats starting the All-Star game.
