Throughout the week, MLB Network released their top 100 players right now for the upcoming season. Trea Turner (76), Patrick Corbin (48), Stephen Strasburg (20), Max Scherzer (14), and Juan Soto (11) were all named to the list. Former Nats Anthony Rendon (6) and Bryce Harper (33) were also both named to the list.
Trea Turner was the catalyst for the Nats lineup in 2019. He broke his finger early in the year and the offense suffered because of it. Turner’s return helped spark the teams turnaround and ultimately led to the franchise winning their first ever World Series.
