Assessing the Prospects the Nats Traded Away

Zach Spedden August 01, 2017 2017 Articles Leave a Comment

The July 31 trade deadline has passed, and the Washington Nationals have made their moves. Though the club did not complete a deal for a starting pitcher, it did one thing that was predictable — worked to improve its bullpen without trading one of its top prospects in the process. Sean Doolittle, Ryan Madson, and Brandon Kintzler are all Nationals, while the likes of Juan Soto, Victor Robles, and Erick Fedde remain in the organization.

In the process of completing their deadline deals, however, the Nationals did let go of a few notable prospects. To look over those players, here is a quick report on each, and what their departures mean for the organization.

Are the Nationals and Orioles Rivals?

Zach Spedden May 08, 2017 2017 Articles 2 Comments

Monday will mark the beginning of the annual interleague series between the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles. Starting with the first contest in Baltimore, the teams will play four games, with the first two slated for Oriole Park at Camden Yards before the matchup shifts to Nationals Park on Wednesday and Thursday.

The proximity between the two teams has led to an interleague staple since the Nationals arrived in D.C. in 2005, and has appealed to fans in both cities. Yet, after all these years, it still seems fair to question if the Orioles and Nationals are true rivals and, if so, to what extent?
