Visiting Dugout Podcast 48 — Washington Nationals — 2024-05-13

The White Sox will see the Nationals again this year thanks to the balanced MLB schedule, so I have another chance to chat with the brilliant Davy Andrews. In a fun episode, we discussed the sister teams and their desire to pick up Some Guys from MLB’s clearance rack. Both teams seem to be proceeding with a “don’t call it a rebuild” rebuild by firing the front office and acquiring veteran players on one-year contracts in hopes of trade bait, but one team is at least winning games. Here’s what we talked about in this episode: What’s new in the nation’s capital? If we stop the season right now Grading the offseason Hockey? Confidence going into 2024 Commonalities and old friends Black Friday bargain bin shopping Pitching matchups Trevor Williams, CJ Abrams, and other likable guys Threats, fears, and keys to winning a series Thoughts for the 2024 season You can follow Davy on Twitter and check out his work at Baseball Prospectus and FanGraphs.
