This former Nationals Top 5 pick might be on his last chance to prove himself

1 week ago | districtondeck.com | Bennett Lehmann

This former top prospect needs to make his mark soon. If you can think back to the 2022 MLB Draft, you might remember that the Washington Nationals had the #5 overall pick that many people were very excited about. On the night of the draft, the Nationals saw their Beltway rival Baltimore Orioles draft Jackson Holliday with the first pick, who is the older brother of Ethan Holliday, who could be the #1 pick himself in just a few months.

Nationals prospects are on the move all across the system. While this week for the Washington Nationals has been dominated by their 5-game winning streak that came to an abrupt halt on Friday night, and the promotion of their top 2 outfield prospects in Robert Hassell III and Daylen Lile to the big leagues, they weren't the only ones who moved up. Throughout the organization, there was a bunch of movement across various levels of the minor leagues, with prospects of all types being promoted.

What will the Nationals do at the trade deadline? In case you have not really been paying attention to what's going on around the league recently, you might not be very familiar with the saga of the Boston Red Sox and their dire situation at first base. After losing Triston Casas to a season-ending injury a few weeks ago, they began to figure out alternatives at the position, including asking their star slugger Rafael Devers to move to the position.

Now that Robert Hassell III has finally received his first major league callup, who else seems close behind him? The big news over the past couple days has been Dylan Crews' placement on the 15-day injured list, and Robert Hassell III's corresponding recall from Triple-A Rochester. After once being among the top prospects acquired in exchange for Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres, Hassell is now yet another outfielder under the age of 25 on the big league roster of the Washington Nationals.
Former Nationals free agent disaster finds new home with NL East rival

Hard to believe that this former National already has a new team. If there is one thing I can confidently say about the Philadelphia Philles over the last couple of seasons, it's that they sure do love their former Washington Nationals players. Between their face of the franchise in Bryce Harper, and other former stars of the Nationals like Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Joe Ross, it's almost like the Nationals have become a feeder team for their rival up north.

One of the Nationals' top prospects is finally getting his shot in the big leagues. In case you are new around here and haven't heard or seen us talk a lot about the ramifications of the Juan Soto trade to the San Diego Padres back in 2022, let me give you a light refresher. When Mike Rizzo ultimately decided he had to deal his generational superstar after he knew the odds to re-sign him to a long-term deal were very small after Soto and his camp turned down a $440 million contract extension.

Let's just say things were a lot different the last time this happened. This past weekend, the Washington Nationals did something that most people would recommend you not do when someone is down, as they kicked the pride out of the Baltimore Orioles, capturing their first sweep of the 2025 season in the process.

The Rochester Red Wings will need a new backup behind Drew Millas. On Saturday, the Washington Nationals made a transaction that completely flew under the radar amid the Baltimore Orioles and their firing of manager Brandon Hyde following his team's loss to the Nationals on Friday night. The game was certainly one the Orioles had no business losing, and it was seemingly the straw that broke the camel's back.
