There has been plenty of talk about the Nationals being in “win-now” mode this winter, trying to capitalize on the opportunity at hand in 2017-18 before players like Jayson Werth (under contract through 2017), Bryce Harper (under team control through 2018), Daniel Murphy (who is signed through 2018 as well) and others can potentially leave Washington, D.C., but none of it is coming from the Nats, really.
Ask General Manager Mike Rizzo about the Nats looking at a two-to-three-year window and he’ll tell you the organization is built to be competitive year after year.
Rizzo reiterated his stance on the state of things in the nation’s capital just last week.
