7/17/25	Proposed Trade Sends Nationals Fan Favorite Southpaw to New York Mets. The Washington Nationals are dead last in their division and seem like one of the few teams that are without a doubt going to be sellers at the deadline coming up. Offseason signings like Josh Bell, Kyle Finnegan and Amed Rosario are sure to be hot commodities in just a few weeks. Left-handed relievers are going to go at a premium this year, so the Nationals should have no issue trading him away. One team that makes perfect sense as a trade partner is the New York Mets.

6/26/25	Nationals Major Free Agent Addition Has Struggled in One Key Area. The Washington Nationals made several veteran additions to their team this past winter, hoping they would help push the team forward in their rebuild. Unfortunately, most of those moves have not paid off, with very little impact being made by the players signed in free agency. Arguably, the most disappointing addition to this point has been designated hitter Josh Bell. For the 2021 season and through 2022, before he was traded along with Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres, Bell was crushing the ball. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/nationals-ma...

6/24/25	Nationals' Josh Bell hit the highest pitch for a home run in MLB history. Josh Bell has hit 181 home runs in his MLB career, but he'd never hit one like this. In fact, no player has ever hit one like this, at least in the pitch tracking era, which began in 2008. On Monday night, Bell turned on a ninth-inning home run in San Diego batting right-handed, putting the exclamation point on a Nationals win. The key: The pitch was 4.65 feet off the ground.

As the month of June continues to creep along and the All-Star break inches ever closer, the Washington Nationals continue to be one of the more interesting teams in the MLB. For the first time in what seemed like forever, Washington could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Aiding these efforts has been the quiet resurgence of veteran slugger Josh Bell over the past couple of weeks. Bell, who the Nationals signed to a one-year deal this past offseason, got off to an absolutely brutal start to the 2025 campaign. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/struggling-n...

5/20/25	Struggling Nationals Slugger Might Just be Worst Hitter in Baseball. The Washington Nationals have quickly become one of the most interesting teams in baseball this season. What isn't inspiring optimism, however, is the performance of their veteran slugger, Josh Bell. The Nationals signed Bell to a one-year deal this past offseason in hopes he could provide a spark to their largely inexperienced lineup. Instead of providing said spark, Bell has instead regressed into arguably the worst hitter in baseball this season. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/nationals/news/struggling-n...

2/10/25	Washington Nationals Again Connected to All-Star Closer in Free Agency. The Washington Nationals were a team that many people were keeping an eye on heading into the MLB offseason. A few veteran additions, along with their continued development, could push them close to the .500 mark. Given the competition in their division, as the NL East has three legitimate World Series contenders in the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets and Atlanta Braves, it made sense to temper expectations and spending. Everyone else they signed, designated hitter Josh Bell, utilityman Amed Rosario, starting pitcher Mike Soroka and relief pitcher Jorge Lopez, were for one-year deals.
