That’s a good sign.

After last night’s rumors, it seems like he has to say that whether it’s true or not. I hope it’s true.
Charles Grody
I hope its false, I want the Nats to extend J-Zim

I meant I hope it’s true they have payroll flexibility.

This is a far cry from being “beyond tapped out”. I personally hope this is the case.
Bradley Maravalli
They should have money to play with now that LaRoche and Soriano is off the books. That’s over $20MM right there.
Drazthegr8
It was over $25MM, but it’s eaten up entirely by scheduled raises, including for Desi and J-Zimm. Both of those contracts were backloaded.

Rizzo always has a long-term plan and that is good for the club and the players. He also seems to have a good rapport with the Lerners and they trust him. When do pitchers and catchers report?
Bob Bunker
Nats are looking good. They have All Star caliber players at every position but 2B (assuming Rendon plays 3B), their rotation is stacked, pen is decent, and the farm system has good depth that seems to produce a MLB caliber players every year.
If the revenue isn’t there for consistent 150 million payroll I could see them going for it this year with the high payroll, letting J Zimm and Desmond walk for draft picks, and using their depth to acquire replacements at lower cost.

Who’s on first for the Nats next year?

Ryan Zimmerman.
