7/15/25 Nationals Receive Medicore Grade for Surprising First Overall Pick in MLB Draft. It has been an extremely disappointing first half of the season for the Washington Nationals. For the past two years, the Nationals have won just 71 games, and with the poor first half, they are trending toward that once again. There are a couple of bright spots within the organization, with both James Wood and MacKenzie Gore looking like great players and perennial All-Stars. The struggles in the first half cost both manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo their jobs, which was tough timing with the 2025 MLB draft right around the corner.

7/15/25 Nationals Young Superstar Showed Off His Elite Power in the Home Run Derby. Perhaps the biggest bright spot in what's otherwise been a very disappointing season for the Washington Nationals has been the emergence of star slugger James Wood. Much like former star Nationals youngsters like Bryce Harper and Juan Soto, Wood has already begun to show the markings of a bona fide superstar early in his tenure with the team. This immense talent has, in turn, led to the 21-year-old being named to his first NL All-Star team after putting together a stellar first-half performance.

The Nationals' 2025 campaign has been defined by inconsistency and underperformance. The emergence of young talents like James Wood and Dylan Crews has offered hope for the future, but the supporting cast has not kept pace, leaving the Nationals little choice but to focus on maximizing the value of their trade chips.
