The Washington Nationals emerged as significant winners from the 2024 MLB Winter Meetings held in Dallas, Texas, primarily due to their unexpected victory in the draft lottery.
This marks their third overall first pick, the last being Bryce Harper in 2010. The anticipated top selection is Ethan Holliday, who exhibits greater power than his brother Jackson, the 2021 first overall pick.
Additionally, the Nationals secured promising pitching prospects Evan Reifert and Hyun-il Choi, enhancing their roster as they continue to build a youthful team.
