"The Washington Nationals have already been hard at work to kick off the 2025 MLB offseason. While there are certainly still some very big fish to fry, especially if the club looks to deal one of their young stars like MacKenzie Gore or even CJ Abrams, there are a lot of smaller transactions that could also help the club for 2026 and beyond."
"Sborz, a righty reliever formerly of the Rangers organization, played his prep baseball for McLean High School, before finding his way over the University of Virginia for his collegiate days. Besides attending an inferior high school unlike his older brother Jay (I went to Langley, Hail Saxons!), Sborz has a chance to atone for that previous mistake by signing with the Nationals this offseason."
"As we all know, the Nationals have had issues for years in being able to field a competent bullpen, and with Sborz recently being non-tendered from the Rangers along with Heim and a couple other players, he is looking for an opportunity to rebuild his value. In recent years, the Nationals have had some mixed results on pitchers looking to rebound, but Sborz might just be a worthwhile dart throw."
The Washington Nationals have started preparations for the 2025 offseason and face both major trade possibilities and smaller moves to improve for 2026 and beyond. Josh Sborz, a right-handed reliever with local roots at McLean High School and the University of Virginia, was recently non-tendered by the Texas Rangers and is seeking to rebuild his value. The Nationals have struggled to field a reliable bullpen for years, and adding Sborz would provide familiar local appeal and low-risk depth. Sborz’s recent World Series closing experience and availability make him a plausible reclamation candidate for Washington.
