James Wood Shatters Nationals History | Washington Nationals News

James Wood just shattered Nationals history, becoming the first player since Adam Dunn to hit 30 homers in back-to-back seasons—his latest two blasts against the Diamondbacks pushed him to 30 for the year. He’s not just a slugger: batting .271 with 72 RBIs and 15 stolen bases, he’s leading the team in homers and dominating key offensive stats. His breakout performance has made him a trade target, even as the Nationals sit at 54-52 and look ahead. With a contract until 2031, the team’s cautious about parting with him now—but if his production keeps climbing and his salary demands rise, a deal could make sense later. For now, Wood’s laser-focused on smashing records and rewriting his legacy with the Nationals. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
