The Athletic reported earlier this week that the team has contacted several active members of other MLB clubs' front offices, including Cubs GM Carter Hawkins, Diamondbacks assistant GM Amiel Sawdaye, and Dodgers senior VP Josh Byrnes.

It is no secret that the Nationals are in a rebuild. Luckily for them, a head start is already underway with many young prospects already with the major league team. Some are already established, while others came up more recently. Three of them, in fact, are thriving as of recent, and they are not named James Wood.

In four games, Willits is hitting .429/.529/.958 with three RBIs and two walks. In 14 at-bats, the switch-hitting shortstop has struck out just once. In the field, Eli has shown range with a diving play to his left and a strong arm, throwing a batter out after fielding a ball deep to his right. His left-handed swing is very smooth, while his right-handed swing is more compact and to the point.

Unranked Nationals prospect makes history by hitting for cycle

While all of the positive news on the farm and prospect front for the Washington Nationals has been focused on several of their top prospects, most notably Eli Willits and Jarlin Susana, they were not the only ones who made significant noise over the weekend. In fact, there could be a very real argument that the player who had the most impressive performance came from a prospect that is pretty unknown to the common fan.

Top Nationals pitching prospect continues recent stretch of dominance

On the bright side, the Nationals' bullpen turned in another phenomenal performance, putting up a load of zeroes after start Jake Irvin failed to make it through the third inning. Irvin has seen the wheels completely fall off in the second half of this season, as he now owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.43 WHIP, and it's pretty hard to argue that him and fellow struggling starter Mitchell Parker give this team any sort of chance to win every fifth day.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Jose A. Ferrer tossed two consecutive scoreless ninth innings to secure the Nationals' series win over the Mets. The new Nats closer now has four saves on the season and has pitched nine and one third consecutive scoreless innings. For a relief unit that has been historically bad throughout the year and has lost a number of key contributors, Ferrer is a bright spot.

Nationals' Luis Garcia Jr. Taking Pregame First Base Reps

García hasn't played anywhere other than second base since the end of 2022. He got a few months of shortstop run that year but clearly wasn't cut out for that position. He's not a particularly good second baseman either. Defensive Runs Saved has graded him negatively in three straight years. Statcast's Outs Above Average gave him above-average marks in 2024 but has had him as a subpar defender in every other season of his career.

They don't necessarily have to sell out for one strategy or the other, but they should at least have an idea of what the general direction of their organization is.
