Washington National’s fans have been riding a wave since winning the 2019 World Series, but I fear that my fandom may be clouding my confidence in the Nationals 2020 bullpen.
Over the last few weeks, the Nationals have signed a flurry of free agents, virtually all of which have been met with excitement and cheers of “In Rizzo we trust.” After all, they are the reigning champs and Rizzo has a history of pressing many correct buttons. But after critically reflecting on the current state of the 2020 team, I can’t help but remain unsettled about the Nationals bullpen.
