Summary
The Nationals podcast discussed the potential starting rotation for the Washington Nationals in 2025, highlighting several key pitchers. MacKenzie Gore is positioned as the ace, showcasing impressive strikeout numbers and promising talent at just 25 years old. Jake Irvin, slated as the number two starter, demonstrated a solid 4.41 ERA last season with a ground ball-inducing sinker. Michael Soroka brings veteran experience, while DJ Herz is rising with a strong debut season. Trevor Williams is in contention for the fifth spot, along with promising arms like Mitchell Parker and Cade Cavalli, both of whom have intriguing potential despite past injuries. In related news, Lucas Sims has joined the bullpen on a one-year contract, providing the team with a veteran presence as they aim to improve. The Nationals have been proactive in managing their roster, placing Mason Thompson on the injured list to make room for Sims. Meanwhile, owner Mark Lerner reaffirmed the family's commitment to the team, emphasizing a focus on stability and competitive prospects after overcoming past challenges. With the 20th anniversary of MLB in D.C. approaching, Lerner expressed optimism for the team's direction moving forward.
