The Washington Nationals face a pivotal offseason after two consecutive 71-91 seasons, with optimism surrounding their young talent. They are at a crossroads, considering whether to pursue high-profile free agents or allow their prospects to develop further.

One potential target is Teoscar Hernandez, a powerful slugger who could enhance the lineup. His signing might shift Jacob Young to a bench role, providing Young with more time to improve his offensive game. Hernandez's impressive performance with the Los Angeles Dodgers makes him a valuable addition for Washington.
