About this listen

in this episode, host Dan Holmi dives into the growing conversation around the Washington Nationals’ payroll strategy. After years of cautious spending, the Nats face a pivotal moment as young stars like CJ Abrams and MacKenzie Gore emerge as franchise cornerstones. Dan breaks down why new leadership under Paul Toboni insists it’s about process over money — but also why a lack of investment could stall progress in a competitive NL East.

Then, we react to Jim Bowden’s harsh ranking of the Nationals among MLB’s non-playoff teams. Are the Nats really that far away from contending, or is national perception lagging behind the rebuild’s reality? We unpack the state of the farm system, the timeline to contention, and how outside voices could be underestimating Washington’s long-term plan.
