How does Harry Ford impact the future outlook of Keibert Ruiz with the Nationals?

With that said, there has been some belief that incumbent backstop Keibert Ruiz might be able to bounce back due to coaching changes that have been made this offseason. It's clear that the Nationals aren't counting on Ruiz reaching the potential the Nationals thought he had when they acquired him from the Dodgers in 2021, but it wouldn't be shocking if we haven't seen the best of him yet.

Pining for the F(j)ords

The Nats don't have a lot of good pitchers. Gore yes. Brad Lord probably and... uhhh Cavalli likely, Beeter looks good... uhhh Henry? Anyway Ferrer was a young lefty (and MAN they do NOT have a lot of lefties) with good fancy stats that I also liked. But they sent him away to Seattle for a catcher, Harry Ford. So first what does this signal? Rebuild... probably

Giants bring prospect Rodriguez to San Francisco to get acclimated for 2026 and beyond

They told me to get to know the guys here, get to know how everything works, just be around the guys and get used to it, Rodriguez said. Rodriguez, 23, didn't spend a ton of time catching in the Yankees' system due to New York's abundance of catching prospects, catching only 172 games over six seasons in the minors. Along with catching, Rodriguez has played first base, second base, third base and left field to get his bat in the lineup.
