Since trading Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, and Juan Soto a year ago, the Washington Nationals have been in full rebuild mode. But the hauls already are starting to pay off in the form of CJ Abrams and MacKenzie Gore, and the club added the top talent in the 2023 draft class in Dylan Crews.
The Nationals are a little light in the pitching department down in the minors, but expect to get Cade Cavalli back in 2024 and added upside play Travis Sykora in Round 3.
The trade that sent Jeimer Candelario to the Chicago Cubs landed Washington two Top 25 prospects, too.
The top of the system has big upside, and there’s depth growing below it. Fun times ahead for the Nationals?
