"Of course, the Nationals have acquired a plethora of prospects, headlined by Gavin Fien among several prospects acquired from the Texas Rangers in the MacKenzie Gore deal, and the team's potential catcher of the future in Harry Ford, acquired from the Seattle Mariners. Fan frustration has mostly stemmed from yet another offseason that lacked any significant spending on new players, which is completely valid."
"Some of the players they have claimed are in big league camp with the team, such as lefty reliever Ken Waldichuk and righty reliever Gus Varland, among others, but some barely even had a cup of coffee with the team before being sent on their way again. For example, George Soriano was claimed off waivers and sent off to St. Louis for righty Andre Granillo."
Major turnover occurred across the front office, coaching staff, and player personnel at both major and minor league levels during the 2025-2026 offseason. The Nationals acquired numerous prospects, including Gavin Fien in the MacKenzie Gore trade and catcher Harry Ford from the Mariners. Fan frustration grew over a lack of substantial free-agent spending despite signing one-year deals with Foster Griffin and Miles Mikolas. The team was extremely active on the waiver wire, claiming and waiving multiple players. Some claimed pitchers remain in big league camp, while others like George Soriano were quickly moved. Infielders Mickey Gasper and Tsung-Che Cheng were claimed by Boston and are now in camp there.
