The Washington Nationals need to look a lot different next season than the way they looked in the 2025 season. Almost everything that could go wrong at all levels ended up happening, as many touted young players either regressed or failed to take the next step in their development, and injuries ran their course throughout the organization.
From top prospects Travis Sykora and Jarlin Susana, who both underwent surgical operations, to 2024 1st-rounder Seaver King looking lost at the plate at times among others, the organization has a ton of room for improvement. The new President of Baseball Operations for the Nationals, Paul Toboni, certainly has a ton of work to do, and his next major decision is who is going to manage his club next season.
