How will the Nationals arrange their middle infield in 2026?

Many questions remain in the depths of this Nationals offseason. Today, I will touch on the matter of the middle infield. The Nationals have many questions to answer at 2nd base. Will they run with Luis Garcia Jr, or Nasim Nunez? Will they build depth to the thin depth chart? Even more importantly, will they shift CJ Abrams to 2nd base, or trade him off? These are crucial decisions that must be made over the winter.

Who is the Current 2nd Baseman?

As of now, the 2nd baseman is projecting to be Luis Garcia Jr. However, it is not a flashy pick, nor is it a sure-thing.
