As Ryan takes a day to discuss the Nationals gutting the World Series team and hitting the reset button, President Mike Rizzo has been very consistent saying this is a retool rather than a rebuild. With all the trades they have made that have indicated a rebuild, do you see the vision for Rizzo's rebuild plan? Well, if you don't, then Ryan breaks it down to discuss the foundation of this rebuild.

On today's season breakdown from 2022, Ryan takes a dive into the season that center fielder Victor Robles had. Robles is a Gold Glove Finalist for CF, and has impressive numbers to back that up. But, Robles at the plate has been a MAJOR disappointment since 2019. Is there any hope for him to bounce back to his 2019 form?

Joey Meneses was the brightest spot for the Washington Nationals in the second half of the 2022 season, and it isn't even CLOSE. Ryan takes the time to break down the breakout season from rookie 30 year old Meneses as his numbers can stack up with the best of the best. This may be a premature question, but is it safe to say Joey Meneses is the face of the Washington Nationals heading into 2023?

Yesterday Britt Ghiroli, Ken Rosenthal, and David Aldridge from The Athletic reported that Ted Leonsis alongside David Rubenstein are frontrunners to buy the Washington Nationals. Ryan dives into that with all the information you will need, as Leonsis & Rubenstein seem to be partnered to buy the Nats together. What does this mean for the club? Also, Victor Robles was named a Gold Glove Finalist for his stellar defense in CF.

Patrick Corbin was someone Mike Rizzo and the Nationals paid to be one of the faces of the team for the championship window that we thought we had since 2019. Obviously, that hasn't worked out. The question being asked here is would Ryan still give him that massive contract? Also, is he the culprit for the Washington Nationals downfall?

Ryan continues his season breakdown, and today Ryan breaks down the up & down season that outfielder Lane Thomas had. Thomas provides a lot of upside in his game on both sides of the field, and he was a BARGAIN for Mike Rizzo and the front office. Is he someone we can build on moving forward with this team? Ryan answers that very question here.
