Totally understand having rebuild fatigue if you're a Nationals fan. But the Nats are broken. Paul Toboni's job is to fix them. Trading MacKenzie Gore is part of the fix. @Nats_Chat

@Nats_Chat @AlGaldi @tshovers Really informative episode yesterday (I listened today) - you touched on topics I didn’t even think about, like the quid pro quo question or how this affects (or previously affected) a possible team sale. Nice work.

In the meantime, I'm still doing the @Nats_Chat podcast with @AlGaldi and @tshovers (they're recording a new episode today). And when the dust settles, my intention/hope is to continue covering the Nationals in one form or another this year and for many years to come!

NEWS: No more MASN for the Washington Nationals: Nats will partner with MLB to broadcast games in 2026.

Under a deal announced Wednesday, Nationals games will be available via streaming and on to-be-determined television networks this season.

Wanted to provide clarity re: MASN contract. The Nationals’ contract with MASN expires at the end of February, both the Nats/O’s confirm to @chelsea_janes and me. None of this is to say the Nats won’t opt to go in a different direction with their TV rights. But still with MASN.

Big day for @AlGaldi & @georgetownprep
The Nationals have signed 1B Matt Mervis to a minor league deal w/a non-roster invite to ST, per sources. @JonHeyman was first. Mervis, 27, has played 78 big league games with CHC/MIA over 3 seasons. Played at Georgetown Prep. 1B depth for the Nationals.

As many of you know, my brother, Andy Galdi, ran the Phillies' analytics department from Feb. 2016 to July 2021. His successor was Ani Kilambi, who the Nats are hiring as GM. Andy helped hire & transition to Ani. Great hire. Most bullish I've been on the Nats in years. @Nats_Chat

The Washington Nationals are hiring Ani Kilambi as their new general manager, sources tell ESPN. Kilambi, 31, had been an assistant GM with Philadelphia overseeing its R&D department and will join new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni in rebuilding the Nationals.

Passan’s first thought is that the Red Sox will turn Bennett into a reliever.
Jake Bennett is a big left-hander who has been a starter since joining Washington in 2022 as a second-round pick. Elite extension guy who potentially could be part of the Red Sox's bullpen mix this season. Perales has a huge arm, up to 101 mph, and is just coming off Tommy John.
