The Washington Nationals face significant challenges in 2025, exemplified by a five-game losing streak that places them seven games under .500. Accountability falls on players, coaching staff, front office, and ownership. Financially, the team struggles with an ongoing debt crisis exacerbated by a recent 20% revenue cut from MASN, leaving them with the fourth-lowest revenue in baseball. The retirement of Stephen Strasburg may open up roster spots, yet the pressure is on General Manager Mike Rizzo to revitalize the roster, improve attendance, and regain fan support amid financial uncertainty.
The Nationals find themselves at a crossroads with a combination of poor performances and financial hurdles, leading fans to demand accountability from all levels of the organization.
Entering a season with the fourth-lowest revenue in baseball, the Nationals' financial struggles have compounded due to both low attendance and poorly managed contracts.
