With Spring Training Camp set to begin, the Washington Nationals are entering a new season following a substantial reshuffle of their roster. Eighteen out of 24 players who had negative Wins Above Replacement (WAR) last season have been removed from the 40-man roster. The team's projected win count for the upcoming season stands between 73 and 75 games, with factors such as player acquisitions, development, and schedule strength affecting their performance. Continuous evaluation of their offseason goals and potential further roster adjustments remains critical.
The Nationals have undergone significant roster changes ahead of Spring Training, with a net gain of potential wins through player turnover and new acquisitions.
Using FanGraphs' and Baseball Prospectus' projections, the Nationals could see improvements translating to 73 to 75 wins depending on schedule strength.
Despite the cumulative negative WAR from last season, the team anticipates positive changes with the addition of new players and stronger performances from those remaining.
Key to the Nationals' potential success will be their ability to navigate remaining offseason roster adjustments as they approach the Spring Training.
