Washington Nationals: 25-Man Opening Day Roster is Finalized

The wait is finally over. The 2019 Major League Baseball regular season is finally here. The Washington Nationals kick off their year with a three-game series against the New York Mets.

Both the Nationals and Mets have very strong starting pitching staffs, and they will be on display this opening weekend series. Tomorrow it will be Jacob DeGrom vs. Max Scherzer, Saturday will be Noah Syndergaard vs. Stephen Strasburg and the finale will matchup Zack Wheeler vs. Patrick Corbin.

Before the series kicks off Washington had to finalize their 25-man roster. There were a few tough decisions the Nationals had to make on their last bench spot and final spots in the bullpen.
