The 2025 Washington Nationals season is the Nationals' 21st season as the Major League Baseball franchise in the District of Columbia, the 18th season at Nationals Park, and the 57th since the original team was started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [1][2] The Nationals are led by Dave Martinez in his eighth year as manager. They are members of the National League East division.
Previous season
[edit]The Nationals finished fourth in the National League East Division in the 2024 season, with a win-loss record of 71–91.
Offseason
[edit]Reliever Jacob Barnes and starting pitcher Patrick Corbin became free agents after the 2024 World Series.[3] They were soon joined in free agency by first baseman Joey Gallo, as the Nationals declined their end of a mutual option for the 2025 season,[4] as well as first baseman Joey Meneses, utilityman Ildemaro Vargas, and reliever Michael Rucker, whom the Nationals outrighted from the 40-man roster.[5] Additionally, the Nationals lost starting pitcher Thaddeus Ward to the Baltimore Orioles on a waiver claim on November 4. Ward did not appear in a game for the Nationals in 2024, after spending the 2023 season on Washington's roster as a Rule 5 draft pick.[6] Facing decisions on whether to extend new contract offers for the 2025 season to players eligible for arbitration, Washington declined to tender contracts to two longtime Nationals relievers: closer Kyle Finnegan and former closer Tanner Rainey.[7] Starting pitcher Trevor Williams tested free agency after spending the last two seasons with the Nationals, but he signed another two-year deal on December 31, 2024, to stay in Washington.[8] Finnegan also returned to the Nationals, belatedly accepting the reported $6 million salary the Nationals had offered to avoid arbitration earlier in the offseason.[9][10]
Washington chose to protect prospects Andry Lara and Robert Hassell III from the Rule 5 draft, adding them to the 40-man roster on November 19.[11] Hassell's promotion to the major league roster came two days after he helped lead the Salt River Rafters to the Arizona Fall League championship.[12] For the third year in a row, the Nationals made a selection in the Rule 5 draft themselves, acquiring Tampa Bay Rays minor league reliever Evan Reifert.[13]
On December 10, the Nationals won the draft lottery, giving them the first pick in the 2025 draft. Going into the lottery, Washington had the fourth best odds of winning the lottery.[14]
The Nationals signed their first major league free agent on December 19, 2024, inking right-handed pitcher Michael Soroka to a reported $9 million contract over one year.[15] Days later, they traded left-handed reliever Robert Garcia to the Texas Rangers for first baseman Nathaniel Lowe.[16] On January 5, the Nationals announced they had reunited with Josh Bell, their primary first baseman in the 2021 and 2022 seasons, on a reported $6 million one-year deal.[17] Washington signed infielder Amed Rosario on January 8 to a one-year contract reportedly valued at $2 million,[18] then inked reliever Jorge López to a $3 million one-year deal on January 11.[19] For the first time in franchise history, the Nationals signed a player posted from Nippon Professional Baseball to a major league contract: left-handed pitcher Shinnosuke Ogasawara, who agreed to a two-year deal to pitch for Washington on January 24.[20] The Nationals added infielder Paul DeJong on a one-year, $1 million contract on February 16.[21] With spring training underway, Washington added to its bullpen mix with a one-year signing of reliever Lucas Sims on February 19.[22]

Spring training
[edit]The Nationals held their spring training at the Cacti Park of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida. They invited the following non-roster players to camp: left-handed pitchers Konnor Pilkington and Colin Poche; right-handed pitchers Daison Acosta, Joan Adon, Marquis Grissom Jr., Clay Helvey, Brad Lord, Jack Sinclair, Tyler Stuart, and Jarlin Susana; catchers Andrew Knizner, Caleb Lomavita, and Maxwell Romero Jr.; infielders Brady House, Yohandy Morales, and Cayden Wallace; and outfielders Daylen Lile and Andrew Pinckney.[23][24]
Outfielder James Wood was hampered early in camp by quadriceps tendinitis.[25] Reliever Zach Brzykcy was also sidelined with a quadriceps injury,[26] as were fellow relievers Jorge López with a hip injury[27] and Derek Law with arm soreness.[28] First baseman Andrés Chaparro suffered an oblique injury that ruled him out for Opening Day despite a strong spring performance.[29] Starting pitcher DJ Herz landed on the injured list at the end of spring training with a sprained left ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow, after demonstrating significantly lower velocity and control issues in games.[30][31] Both Brzykcy and Law were also assigned to the injured list, while López recovered in time to make the Opening Day roster.[32]
Toward the end of spring training, the Nationals returned reliever Evan Reifert to the Tampa Bay Rays after he struggled with command throughout preseason play, opening a spot on their 40-man roster[33] that the Nationals filled by selecting Poche's contract.[34] Herz was transferred to the 60-day injured list after he was reportedly recommended to undergo Tommy John surgery, with Washington selecting Lord to fill his roster spot.[32]
Regular Season
[edit]Opening Day
[edit]The season kicked off at Nationals Park on March 27, 2025, against the Philadelphia Phillies. MacKenzie Gore was selected as the #1 Starting pitcher, as last year's Opening Day starter, Josiah Gray, was still recovering from injury. Gore answered the call by striking out 13 Phillies' batters over the course of six innings, only giving up one hit and zero walks, allowing zero runs during his time on the mound. His 13 strikeouts broke a team record for an Opening Day starting pitcher, last held by Max Scherzer, who pitched a 12 strikeout performance in 2019's Opening Day. Unfortunately, the Nationals' offense had trouble taking advantage of Gore's hot start, with only two hits (both by Keibert Ruiz) and one walk (taken by James Wood) throughout their first six innings, though one of Ruiz's hits was a home run, giving the team a 1-0 lead.
However, once both teams turned to their bullpen, the offense increased. Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber immediately smacked solo home runs against relief pitchers Lucas Sims and José A. Ferrer, respectively, giving the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the 7th inning. They added a run to their lead in the 8th on a wild pitch by Ferrer, going up 3-1. The Nats managed to put 2 runs across the plate in the 8th inning to tie up the game at 3-3, eventually sending the game into extra innings. However, despite holding strong at the Top of the 10th, Colin Poche was unable to get the 3rd out as the Phillies jumped back in the lead 5-3, and a dropped fly ball by Dylan Crews in right field led to a 7-3 score before Eduardo Salazar slammed the door shut. The Nats went down in order in the bottom of the inning, losing the opener by a 7-3 score despite a strong performance by Gore that earned him 0 ERA to start the season. Sims was credited with a blown save, and Poche with the official loss.
