The Washington Nationals are entering a pivotal, franchise altering offseason. It’s one that can shape the direction of this team for the next five or so years. The Lerners have known this time was coming, as has Mike Rizzo, so a plan is in place.
The Nationals have a Plan A heading into this offseason, which begins with re-signing Bryce Harper, and they also have a Plan B, which presumably would be to continue to spend at around the same clip they had previously been spending at to keep the team competitive in 2019.
