The Washington Nationals are focused on improving their roster during the offseason to aim for an 80-win season. After missing the playoffs in 2024, the team is in the midst of a rebuild but has seen promising performances from young players like CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia Jr.

To enhance their chances of returning to contention, the Nationals will need to seek veteran leadership, as emphasized by President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo. Potential free-agent targets include established stars like Pete Alonso and Paul Goldschmidt.
