The Washington Nationals have had a very interesting offseason to this point. While nobody truly knows the intentions of the club in terms of free agency this winter, one thing has become very clear: under the new guidance of Paul Toboni, the Nationals are going to become a player development machine. This should be music to the ears of all Nationals fans who have paid attention over the last few years.
During the Mike Rizzo era, the organization as a whole struggled with drafting and development of many youngsters, and it is a large reason why the Nationals have now had to enter their current rebuild and have been stuck in it for years now.
