SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Washington Nationals’ playoff dreams take a turn as Cade Cavalli cements his status as the team’s ace with nine straight quality starts, sparking hope for 2027 contention. CJ Abrams makes franchise history, joining Alfonso Soriano as the only Nationals to post a 25-25 season. Can this new generation propel Washington out of their recent funk and toward the top of the NL East? The conversation focused on the Nationals’ internal development, the emergence of top prospects, and the impact of key trades, including the deadline move of Foster Griffin. Several points were raised, including James Wood’s injury status, the cautious approach to his return, and the steady progress of Andrew Alvarez on the mound. The discussion explored whether this season’s individual successes are enough to call 2026 a win—and if the right pieces are now in place for a big leap forward.
