The 2024 Washington Nationals season was the Nationals' 20th season as the Major League Baseball franchise in the District of Columbia, the 17th season at Nationals Park, and the 56th since the original team was started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. [1][2] The Nationals were led by Dave Martinez in his seventh year as manager, the team posted the exact same record as their 2023 season, though finished 4th in their division instead of last place as the Marlins posted a 62-100 record.

On September 12, the Nationals were eliminated from playoff contention for the fifth consecutive season.

Previous season

[edit]

The Nationals finished fifth in the National League East Division in the 2023 season, with a win-loss record of 71–91.

Offseason

[edit]

The Nationals had only one pending major league free agent after the 2023 season: reliever Carl Edwards Jr., who had finished the season on the 60-day injured list. The Nationals also declined their 2024 club option for outfielder Víctor Robles, who had also ended the season on the 60-day injured list, while retaining his rights through arbitration.[3]

Additionally, the Nationals designated reliever Matt Cronin for assignment to clear roster space entering the offseason.[4]

The Nationals avoided arbitration with reliever Tanner Rainey and outfielder Víctor Robles by signing them to one-year deals on November 14, 2023.[5] They tendered contracts to four more arbitration-eligible players—relievers Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey, infielder Luis García, and outfielder Lane Thomas—but chose not to retain their rights to first baseman Dominic Smith, who was not tendered a new contract.[6]

Also losing their roster spots during the offseason: swingman pitchers Cory Abbott[7] and Roddery Muñoz, the latter of whom was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates;[8] relievers Joe La Sorsa[8] and Andrés Machado, the latter of whom was released to pursue an overseas playing opportunity;[9] infielder Jeter Downs, who was claimed off waivers by the New York Yankees;[10] and catcher Israel Pineda.[11]

The Nationals added four prospects, all pitchers—Zach Brzykcy, Cole Henry, DJ Herz, and Mitchell Parker—to the 40-man roster to prevent them from being eligible for the Rule 5 draft.[7] In the Rule 5 draft, the Nationals made a selection themselves for the second straight year, adding infield prospect Nasim Nuñez of the Miami Marlins to their roster.[12]

Active on the free agent market, the Nationals were linked in rumors to starting pitcher Michael Wacha;[13] infielders Jeimer Candelario[14] (ultimately signed with the Cincinnati Reds)[15] and Rhys Hoskins;[16] and outfielder Jorge Soler.[16]

The Nationals announced signings of reliever Dylan Floro and third baseman Nick Senzel on December 12, 2023.[17] The team later signed infielder/outfielder Joey Gallo on January 27, 2024.[18]
