1/29/25	Washington Nationals Could Pilfer Dodgers Surplus To Put a Stamp on Offseason. The Washington Nationals are looking to take a step forward in 2025 with another year of development under the belts of their young stars. James Wood and Dylan Crews debuted in the Majors last year, and both outfielders look to be pivotal pieces of the roster for years to come. Offensively, the Nationals are set for 2025 outside of a few potential tweaks here and there; one area that could use some improvement, however, is their starting rotation. With Fangraphs projecting MacKenzie Gore to serve as the ace and Jake Irvin as the number two pitcher in the rotation, it is not a bad unit, but it could certainly use some improvement.
