Summary
The Nationals are already spiraling early in 2026—but is there a path forward? We break down Blake Butera’s message to a collapsing bullpen, the puzzling lack of extension talks with Daylen Lile, and why this team could still be entertaining despite the losses. Plus deep dives on James Wood, Brady House, and the rebuild direction.
