3 days agoWhy the Blue Jays should make a play for Washington's young shortstop
The 25-year-old was an All-Star in 2024 when he hit 20 home runs and stole 31 bases, and would be a more appropriate offensive replacement for Bichette than incumbent Andrés Giménez. Many believe the Blue Jays could be done with their offseason additions after inking pitchers Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers, plus Japanese infielder Kazuma Okamoto. Fans would be fine with that if they signed either Tucker or Bichette.

5 days agoMonday Quickie - Abrams
So for today - what do you expect back for CJ Abrams. They don't HAVE to trade CJ but it seems EXTREMELY unlikely that they will be competitive in the time before he becomes a FA. Are they going to be good enough to convince him to stay? Do you take that chance instead of selling him on a decently high note with a couple years of control left? The way I read the Nats management the answer is no.

The Nationals need to address their pitching problem first and foremost. I would do that not by trading 2024 All-Star CJ Abrams but by trading MacKenzie Gore. The Nationals have a decently strong farm system, with highly touted pitchers that can bolster the team in the coming years, but they need help now--and for that, Gore is the way to go.

1 month agoOffseason Position Discussion : SS
Presumed Plan : Wide open but I'll say Abrams plays SS while Nunez enters super sub role. Reasoning behind Presumed Plan : Nunez only played 24 games last year to add to his 23 in 2024. With that little time in the majors and very middling minor league batting stats, it's fair to wonder if he could in fact hit in the majors despite a very short impressive run late last year.

3 months agoWhy the Nationals should look to move CJ Abrams off shortstop in 2026 and beyond
Throughout Abrams' career, defensive metrics have graded him poorly. Outs Above Average, a Statcast-based statistic that accounts for the cumulative value a player is credited or debited for, has graded Abrams poorly for every season of his career. This past season, Abrams' OAA at shortstop was in the second percentile. During his four years in the big leagues, he has never posted an OAA mark above the third percentile.
