The Washington Nationals are set to defend their 2019 World Series Championship with a mixed bag of returning players and new additions to their roster. Major League Baseball has increased the total roster size to 26 players from opening day until roster expansion on August 31. Here is how the Nationals roster projects to shape up.
Catcher
Yan Gomes, Kurt Suzuki
Yan Gomes and Kurt Suzuki return to split time behind the dish in 2020. Suzuki will likely serve as Max Scherzer’s primary catcher and Gomes will work directly with Patrick Corbin, while they platoon with the rest of the staff.
