The 2024 Washington Nationals season is the Nationals' 20th season as the Major League Baseball franchise in the District of Columbia, the 17th season at Nationals Park, and the 56th since the original team was started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [1] [2] The Nationals are led by Dave Martinez in his seventh year as manager. They are members of the National League East.

Previous season

The Nationals finished fifth in the National League East Division in the 2023 season, with a win-loss record of 71–91.

Offseason

The Nationals had only one pending major league free agent after the 2023 season: reliever Carl Edwards Jr., who had finished the season on the 60-day injured list. The Nationals also declined their 2024 club option for outfielder Víctor Robles, who had also ended the season on the 60-day injured list, while retaining his rights through arbitration. [3]

Additionally, the Nationals designated reliever Matt Cronin for assignment to clear roster space entering the offseason. [4]

The Nationals avoided arbitration with reliever Tanner Rainey and outfielder Víctor Robles by signing them to one-year deals on November 14, 2023. [5] They tendered contracts to four more arbitration-eligible players—relievers Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey, infielder Luis García, and outfielder Lane Thomas—but chose not to retain their rights to first baseman Dominic Smith, who was not tendered a new contract. [6]

Also losing their roster spots during the offseason: swingman pitchers Cory Abbott [7] and Roddery Muñoz, the latter of whom was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates; [8] relievers Joe La Sorsa [8] and Andrés Machado, the latter of whom was released to pursue an overseas playing opportunity; [9] infielder Jeter Downs, who was claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees; [10] and catcher Israel Pineda. [11]

The Nationals added four prospects, all pitchers—Zach Brzykcy, Cole Henry, DJ Herz, and Mitchell Parker—to the 40-man roster to prevent them from being eligible for the Rule 5 draft. [7] In the Rule 5 draft, the Nationals made a selection themselves for the second straight year, adding infield prospect Nasim Nuñez of the Miami Marlins to their roster. [12]

Active on the free agent market, the Nationals were linked in rumors to starting pitcher Michael Wacha; [13] infielders Jeimer Candelario [14] (ultimately signed with the Cincinnati Reds) [15] and Rhys Hoskins; [16] and outfielder Jorge Soler. [16]

The Nationals announced signings of reliever Dylan Floro and third baseman Nick Senzel on December 12, 2023. [17] The team later signed infielder/outfielder Joey Gallo on January 27, 2024. [18]

Notable transactions

Spring training

The Nationals held their spring training at the Cacti Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida. Non-roster invitees to spring training included left-handed pitchers Richard Bleier and Joe La Sorsa; right-handed pitchers Jacob Barnes, Matt Barnes, Zach Davies, Robert Gsellman, Derek Law, and Luis Perdomo; catchers Brady Lindsly and Israel Pineda; infielders Darren Baker, Lewin Díaz, Brady House, Trey Lipscomb, and Juan Yepez; and outfielders Travis Blankenhorn, Dylan Crews, Robert Hassell III, Eddie Rosario, Jesse Winker, and James Wood. The Nationals also signed outfielder Eddie Rosario to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training midway through camp. [19]

The Nationals had a 15–12–1 record in Grapefruit League play, before finishing their preseason exhibition slate with a March 26 game at Nationals Park between the major league team and a roster of prospects, including several non-roster invitees. They teed up their Opening Day roster as they selected the contracts of Law, Rosario, Winker, and Matt Barnes, with Lipscomb the last non-roster invitee to be reassigned to minor league camp following the Nationals Park exhibition.
