Nationals Rebuild Reality Check with Tobi Altizer

Craig welcomes Tobi Altizer of the Bustin' Loose Baseball podcast to react to Ken Rosenthal’s in-depth piece on the Washington Nationals’ stalled rebuild. They discuss why the timing of the article was eye-opening, but not surprising — as Tobi notes, Rosenthal’s reporting was “spot on.” The two dive into the Nationals’ continued unwillingness to spend in free agency, their struggles in drafting and development, and whether there’s genuine progress being made. They also explore the growing concern: Will Washington be able to retain its emerging stars, or is this another false dawn for a team still stuck in neutral?
