So just how desperate are the Washington Nationals this winter?
How do they view the 95-win season they completed in 2016, which saw them win the division for the third time in five seasons and then lose in the NLDS for the third time in five seasons? As a disappointment?
In talking about his feelings on how the season came to an end in an interview with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s The Sports Junkies late last month, Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo said that the ultimate goal was to win a World Series and they fell short.
