The Washington Nationals are grappling with significant challenges, particularly at third base, where they ranked 29th in OPS last season. This lack of production has persisted since their 2019 peak with Anthony Rendon. While the team may consider high-profile acquisitions like Alex Bregman, they might instead wait for top prospect Brady House to develop further.

House, drafted in 2021, has shown promise but needs to prove himself at the major league level. Alternatives like Jose Tena and other prospects are in the mix, but the Nationals must explore options to bolster their third base position for the upcoming season.
