- The Washington Nationals have made notable offseason moves, most recently trading for first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers, while sending left-handed reliever Robert Garcia to Texas. This trade addresses the Nationals' need for a reliable first baseman, as Lowe boasts impressive stats, including a .272 batting average and a stellar performance that earned him a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove in recent years. Additionally, the team signed pitcher Michael Soroka to a one-year, $9 million deal, hoping he can regain his rookie form despite not being the sought-after hitter or closer they need. Looking ahead to the season, Manager Davey Martinez is shaping a pitching rotation that includes Soroka, MacKenzie Gore, and Jake Irvin, while also considering the potential addition of another veteran starter.
