  5 Nationals who need to be sent to Triple-A or off the roster

  Oct 1, 202622 min

  The District Territory crew talks through the Nationals' roster bubble, which includes players like Jose Tena, Nasim Nuñez, Jorbit Vivas, Clayton Beeter and several other bullpen arms, and discusses which ones should either be cut from the organization or be sent to Triple A at the start of next season to keep refining their craft. Unsurprisingly, there are a number of relievers who make this list after the Nationals shattered the MLB record with 42 blown saves.

  What the Nationals can learn from the best teams in baseball

  Sep 25, 202624 min

  On the latest episode of District Territory, we discuss how the Washington Nationals can relate to the Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves -- or, more specifically, where those teams are far ahead and where the Nationals can catch up. The Nats seem far away, in some senses, but are aiming to catch up in international scouting, analytics and in the field, and could be primed to take some shots in free agency with a strong core of James Wood, CJ Abrams and Cade Cavalli.

  How the Nats captivating middle infield is finishing the season

  Sep 24, 202620 min

  Nasim Nuñez and CJ Abrams have had virtually polar opposite seasons. One has been terrific in the field and struggled at the plate, and the other has flipped those clauses. But on Tuesday and Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, they were largely responsible in securing a win for the Washington Nationals, who are up to 75 wins with three games to go. The District Territory crew discusses this, Josiah Gray's return and Yohandy Morales' possible breakout. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The return of DJ Herz and the state of the Nats rotation

  Sep 21, 202619 min

  The Washington Nationals are set to start DJ Herz on Monday, an enticing development given how well the lefty pitched in his rookie season two years ago. With roughly three spots locked up in next year's rotation and some money coming off of the books this winter, how might he factor into the 2027 rotation? That, plus discussion of the Nats' blown saves record (which continues to climb) and a red-hot Jorbit Vivas.
