Nationals Shuffle Infield for King's Future | Washington DC News

The Nationals are quietly reshuffling their infield, moving CJ Abrams to second base to pave the way for top prospect Seaver King’s eventual call-up — but they’re taking their time. Despite King’s breakout season, the team is prioritizing his development over rushing him to the majors, opting instead for more Triple-A seasoning. The move also pairs defensive standout Nasim Nunez at shortstop with Abrams at second, hoping to boost overall infield defense while setting Abrams up for future roles. With over a month left in the season, this strategic patience could pay off — or evolve — as the Nationals focus on long-term growth and building a solid defensive core.
