"A former Gold Glover and All-Star backstop as a member of the Texas Rangers, Heim was recently non-tendered following a disappointing 2025 season that only saw him post a .602 OPS in 124 games. Combine that second straight season of a below league-average OPS with declining defense, and it's pretty easy to see why the Rangers are looking to go in a new direction."
"The MLB Offseason is already underway. As we all know, our beloved Washington Nationals have been very busy in their own right, but we are still waiting for the new leader of the team's front office, Paul Toboni, to really make his first big splash. With teams like the Toronto Blue Jays already making major waves, signing free agent righty starter Dylan Cease to a massive 7-year, $210 million deal,"
The Nationals await impactful roster moves from new front office leader Paul Toboni during an active MLB offseason that includes major signings like Dylan Cease. Jonah Heim, a former Gold Glove and All-Star with the Rangers, was non-tendered after a disappointing 2025 season that produced a .602 OPS in 124 games and showed defensive decline. Heim represents a buy-low veteran who could share catching duties with Keibert Ruiz if the organization lacks confidence in Drew Millas or Riley Adams. Heim’s prior work with Bobby Wilson, the newly hired catching coordinator, could ease his transition and provide veteran stability behind the plate.
