The Washington Nationals will be eliminated sooner or later over the next month, the only question is precisely when?

But until the season concludes Sept. 28, there is plenty that can be won by this team in 2025. The future is on the field, with multiple players making their big league debuts this year and more than a few still technically in their rookie seasons.

For the final 32 games of this regular season, I want to see as many at bats as possible for the likes of Daylen Lile and Robert Hassell III. I want to see Cade Cavalli and Brad Lord make quality starts, while Cole Henry finds his range in the bullpen. And then hopefully in the offseason, ownership will add major pieces.

If they play this right, the seeds of the next Nats era of contention will be sown.
