The Washington Nationals are facing a crucial offseason as they enter the Winter Meetings with significant roster gaps. With a young, promising team and financial resources, they aim to accelerate their rebuilding process.
Despite their potential, the Nationals have been quiet in the free agency market. They need to address key positions, including first base, third base, and starting pitching, as well as a surprising void in the bullpen after non-tendering All-Star closer Kyle Finnegan.
Finnegan had a stellar first half in 2024 but struggled in the latter part of the season. His performance has drawn interest from the Chicago Cubs, who are looking to bolster their bullpen after a disappointing season.
