The 2019 Washington Nationals season is the Nationals' 15th season as the baseball franchise of Major League Baseball in the District of Columbia, the 12th season at Nationals Park, and the 51st since the original team was started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The regular season began on March 28, 2019, and is scheduled to end on September 29, 2019.

Offseason

Team news

With the Washington Nationals coming off a disappointing 82–80 2018 season, general manager and president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo nonetheless declared confidence in manager Dave Martinez and his coaching staff, all under contract for the 2019 season.[1]

The Nationals' player development contract with the Class-AAA Syracuse Chiefs expired following the 2018 minor league season. Instead, the Nationals signed a two-year player development contract with the Fresno Grizzlies of the Pacific Coast League, although Rizzo publicly acknowledged Fresno was team officials' "second choice" behind the Nashville Sounds, who signed a four-year deal with the Texas Rangers instead.[2]

The major drama entering the off-season centered around the future of outfielder Bryce Harper, a former No. 1 overall draft pick by the Nationals who had blossomed into one of the team's most productive players and marketable stars. Set to become a free agent after the 2018 season, Harper indicated in numerous interviews and speaking appearances that he was interested in reaching a new deal with the Nationals, despite considerable media speculation that Washington would be unwilling to meet Harper's likely asking price for a contract.[3][4][5] The Nationals made Harper what principal managing owner Mark Lerner later described as "one heck of an offer" in an attempt to extend him toward the end of the 2018 season, reported to be roughly $300 million over ten years, which would have been a record-setting amount for a free agent in American sports,[6] but Harper elected free agency and Lerner said in December he expected him to sign for a higher bid elsewhere.[7][8] Harper ultimately signed with the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies for a reported $330 million over 13 years, the largest free agent contract in the history of North American sports, after a pursuit that stretched into March.[9] Along with Harper, starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson,[10] catcher Matt Wieters,[11] infielder Mark Reynolds,[12] and relievers Joaquín Benoit,[13] Tim Collins,[14] Kelvin Herrera,[15] and Greg Holland[16] became free agents after the 2018 season. Catcher Jhonatan Solano elected free agency as well after being outrighted from the roster.[17] Hellickson signed a new one-year major league contract to stay in Washington for the 2019 season.[18]

Among the free agents to whom the Nationals were linked in the media, with varying degrees of reported interest: starting pitchers Nathan Eovaldi[19] (ultimately signed by the Boston Red Sox),[20] Mike Fiers[21] (ultimately signed by the Oakland Athletics),[22] Dallas Keuchel,[23] Lance Lynn[24] (ultimately signed by the Texas Rangers),[25] and Wade Miley[26] (ultimately signed by the Houston Astros),[27] as well as posted Nippon Professional Baseball starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi[26] (ultimately signed by the Seattle Mariners);[28] infielders Marwin González (ultimately signed by the Minnesota Twins),[29] Josh Harrison[30] (ultimately signed by the Detroit Tigers),[31] Ian Kinsler[32] (ultimately signed by the San Diego Padres),[33] DJ LeMahieu[34] (ultimately signed by the New York Yankees),[35] and Jed Lowrie[29] (ultimately signed by the Mets);[36] and relievers Craig Kimbrel[37] and Adam Ottavino[38] (ultimately signed by the Yankees).[39]

The Nationals negotiated a deal with free agent reliever Trevor Rosenthal,[40] which was officially announced November 3.[41] On November 20, the Nationals announced a reunion with their former catcher Kurt Suzuki, who last suited up for Washington in the 2013 season.[42] Left-handed-hitting first baseman Matt Adams, who had played for Washington during the 2018 season before being claimed off waivers in August by the St. Louis Cardinals, also reunited with the Nationals on a one-year deal with a mutual option for the 2020 season.[43] The Nationals' stated top pitching target, left-handed starter Patrick Corbin, was introduced December 7 in a press conference as Washington inked him to a six-year deal.[44] Washington added another free agent to its starting rotation on December 27, when the team announced the signing of right-hander Aníbal Sánchez.[45] Shoring up another positional weakness, the Nationals officially signed veteran second baseman Brian Dozier to a one-year deal on January 13.[46] Days after releasing former top pitching prospect Sammy Solís in March,[47][48] the Nationals signed another veteran left-handed reliever, Tony Sipp, to a one-year major league contract with a 2020 mutual option.[49]

The Nationals swung a rare October trade with the division-rival Miami Marlins, acquiring former closer Kyle Barraclough for international bonus money on October 10.[50] Ten days after signing Suzuki, the Nationals made another trade to bolster their catching corps, sending pitcher Jefry Rodríguez, a minor league outfielder, and a player to be named later to the Cleveland Indians for veteran Yan Gomes.[51] Less than a week after signing Corbin, the Nationals dealt from their starting rotation as they sent veteran right-hander Tanner Roark to the Cincinnati Reds for Tanner Rainey, a rookie reliever.[52] The team traded right-handed reliever Trevor Gott off waivers to the San Francisco Giants for cash considerations in February, on the eve of the start of spring training.[53] Catcher Pedro Severino, out of minor league options and blocked from the major league roster by Suzuki and Gomes, was placed on waivers toward the end of March and claimed by the Baltimore Orioles on March 23.[54]

The Nationals tendered contracts to all of their arbitration-eligible players—Barraclough, Roark, Solís, Anthony Rendon, Joe Ross, Michael A. Taylor, and Trea Turner[55]—but traded Roark before the terms of his 2019 contract were agreed upon[56] and released Solís during spring training, on the last day the team would owe him only one-sixth of his 2019 salary.[57] Barraclough and Taylor did not settle with the team on contract terms, sending Washington to salary arbitration for the first time since the 2014–15 offseason.[58] The arbitration panel sided with the team against both players.[59]

Spring training

The Nationals held spring training at their facility at FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida, which they shared with the Houston Astros. It was their third year at the facility.

The day before opening camp, the Nationals announced a slate of non-roster invitees to major league spring training including top infield prospects Carter Kieboom and Luis García, as well as left-handed pitcher Vidal Nuño; right-handed pitchers Henderson Álvarez, Aaron Barrett, Wil Crowe, J. J. Hoover, and Ronald Peña; catchers Tres Barrera and Taylor Gushue; infielders Jose Marmolejos, Jake Noll, Matt Reynolds, and Brandon Snyder; and outfielders Hunter Jones and Chuck Taylor.[71]

Veteran utilityman Howie Kendrick had recovered enough from a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered in May 2018 to participate in spring training workouts and games from the beginning. However, Kendrick suffered another leg injury, a strained hamstring, while running the bases in an early March game, taking him out of commission for at least a few weeks.[77] Outfielder Michael A. Taylor, competing for the role of starting center fielder, sprained his left knee and hip after catching a cleat in a March game.[78] Also hampered by injuries were right-handed relievers Justin Miller, who strained his lower back and missed just over a week before returning to action in mid-March,[79] and Koda Glover, who was lifted from his first spring game in late February with a forearm strain and was shut down from throwing.[80]

The Nationals broke camp at West Palm Beach on March 24 to head north for the year. On March 25, they defeated the New York Yankees 5–3 in an exhibition game at Nationals Park.[81] Including that game, the Nationals completed spring training with a Grapefruit League record of 17–12–2, third-best in the Grapefruit League and better than any Cactus League team′s record.[82][83][84] On March 27, the Nationals, following a strong spring performance in which Jake Noll hit .320 and batted in ten runs, purchased his contract from the Class-AA Harrisburg Senators; the Nationals placed him on the 25-man roster for Opening Day.[76]

Game recap

Opening Day on March 28 – the earliest opening day in MLB history excluding international openers[86] – saw a pitchers′ duel before a sell-out crowd at Nationals Park between the starters who had won the last three Cy Young Awards: the New York Mets′ Jacob deGrom, who won it in {{mlby|2018}}, and Washington′s Max Scherzer, who won it in {{mlby|2013}} as well as {{mlby|2016}} and {{mlby|2017}} and was the runner-up for it in 2018.[87] DeGrom threw 93 pitches over six scoreless innings,[87] 59 of them for strikes,[85][88] scattering a double, four singles, and a walk and striking out five.[88] The Nationals threatened only twice against him. In the bottom of the third inning with New York leading 1–0, center fielder Victor Robles led off with a double – the Nationals′ only extra-base hit of the game – and advanced to third with no outs when right fielder Adam Eaton singled, but after shortstop Trea Turner struck out, Robles was too far off third when third baseman Anthony Rendon hit a chopper to third.[85][87] The Mets forced Eaton out at second and Robles was caught in a rundown between third and home, resulting in an inning-ending double play.[85][87] It was the kind of base-running error the Nationals had been criticized for in 2018 and had promised to avoid in 2019.[87] In the bottom of the sixth, shortstop Trea Turner led off with a single, stole second, and then stole third with one out – giving him three stolen bases for the game, making him only the seventh player in MLB history to steal three bases on Opening Day and the first to do so since Emilio Bonifacio did it for the Florida Marlins in 2009[89] – but left fielder Juan Soto struck out and first baseman Ryan Zimmerman popped out, stranding Turner at third,[85][87] the Nationals displaying the same poor situational hitting that had plagued them in 2018.[87] The Nats never threatened again against either deGrom or the Mets′ bullpen; Mets reliever Seth Lugo struck out the side in the top of the seventh[85][87][88] and Jeurys Familia and Edwin Díaz pitched scoreless innings in the eighth and ninth[85][88] as Mets pitchers combined to strike out 14 Nats.[88]

Scherzer, meanwhile, gave up a solo homer in the top of the first inning to the third batter he faced, Mets second baseman Robinson Canó,[85][87] but left the game with the score still 1–0 after throwing 109 pitches, 76 of them for strikes, over {{frac|7|2|3}} innings[85][87][88] and giving up only one more hit and two walks and striking out 12 Mets.[85][88] However, Mets pinch-hitter Dominic Smith, who Scherzer had walked in the top of the eighth inning before leaving the game, advanced to second on a single reliever Justin Miller gave up to Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, and then reliever Matt Grace surrendered a single to Canó, which drove in Smith and resulted in a second run charged to Scherzer and New York adding to its lead.[85][87] Nats pitchers gave up only five hits,[88] all singles except for Canó′s homer,[88] but the Nats managed only five hits, four of them singles,[88] and the Mets shut them out 2–0.[88]

It was only the second Opening Day game in MLB history in which both starting pitchers had ten or more strikeouts.[90][91][92] Scherzer became the 16th pitcher in MLB history to strike out 12 or more batters on Opening Day,[90] and it was the 83rd game of his career with 10 or more strikeouts.[91] It was deGrom′s 30th consecutive start in which he allowed three or fewer earned runs, a streak that set a new MLB record.[90]

March–April

The Nationals got off to a slow start to the season, dropping their first two games to the division-rival New York Mets. A quality start by Patrick Corbin, who left the Nationals with the lead, was squandered in the third game on March 31 by ineffectual Washington relief pitching, including a blown save by closer Sean Doolittle in his first opportunity of the season. The Nationals rallied against Mets reliever Justin Wilson to win 6–5 as shortstop Trea Turner socked a walkoff home run to left field, his second homer of the game.[93]

Unfortunately for Turner, in his next at-bat on April 2, Philadelphia Phillies starter Zach Eflin broke his index finger with a fastball as he squared to bunt, sending him to the injured list.[94] Adding insult to injury, in former Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper's much-hyped return to Nationals Park with the rival Phillies, Washington's pitching staff was unable to contain him. Backed by a lustily booing home crowd, starter Max Scherzer struck Harper out twice, but Harper hit safely in each of his last three at-bats, capped by a two-run home run off Jeremy Hellickson with the Phillies already leading 6–2, giving the game its final 8–2 score.[95] The Nationals salvaged the two-game series by winning April 3 on a bases-loaded, ninth-inning walk issued by Phillies reliever David Robertson to rookie pinch-hitter Jake Noll. Noll's first career RBI[96] finished off a seesaw contest in which the Phillies scored twice off Nationals starter Aníbal Sánchez in the first inning; the Nationals responded by reeling off six unanswered runs against Phillies ace Aaron Nola; after Sánchez exited with a bruise on his hip from a line-drive comebacker, the Phillies scored six unanswered runs of their own off Nationals relievers;[97] and after Phillies manager Gabe Kapler inserted his closer Seranthony Domínguez in the ninth inning, the Nationals scored one run on a double by catcher Yan Gomes and then tied the game as Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins couldn't haul in a relay throw to retire a hustling Adam Eaton.[98]

Having already recalled infielder Adrián Sánchez from the Class-AAA Fresno Grizzlies to replace Turner on the roster,[99] the Nationals optioned Noll after the April 3 game to make room for the activation of veteran utilityman Howie Kendrick from the injured list.[100] General manager Mike Rizzo publicly rejected the idea of calling up top shortstop prospect Carter Kieboom to play in Turner's place. "We're going to see him sooner rather than later," Rizzo told reporters, adding, "When we feel he’s ready, we'll bring him."[99]

Broadcasters

In mid-September 2018, Ray Knight, who had served as the studio analyst on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network′s (MASN) pre-game and post-game Nats Xtra shows on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) since the 2007 season, was pulled from broadcasts after a verbal altercation with a staff member at MASN;[102] he did not return to the air during the 2018 season, and his 2019 contract option was not picked up.[102] In December 2018, Johnny Holliday, the host of Nats Xtra during the same years, announced that he would not return to MASN in 2019.[102]

On January 25, 2019, the Nationals and MASN announced their broadcasting lineup for 2019 following the departures of Knight and Holliday, with Dan Kolko – the Nationals′ field reporter from 2014 through 2018 – replacing Holliday as Nats Extra host[102] and Bo Porter – the Nationals′ third-base coach in 2011 and 2012 – taking over from Knight as Nats Xtra studio analyst.[102] They also announced that Alex Chappell – who under her maiden name, Alex Corddry, had covered college football on ESPN and the SEC Network since 2016 and had been the Tampa Bay Rays field reporter during the 2017 season – would replace Kolko as Nationals field reporter in 2019.[102]
