Ryan Zimmerman and the Washington Nationals have become inextricable since the 2005 MLB Draft that brought the two of them together.
Of the 198 months since the Nationals opened up their inaugural season in their new city, Zimmerman has only not been under contract with the team for around six of them. Two before the 2005 MLB Draft, two after the 2019 season, and two after the 2020 season.
It’s tough to imagine one being without the other. However, it’s hard not to wonder whether that time may be on the horizon given the direction that both are heading.
