Washington Nationals Information
The Washington Nationals is an American professional baseball team established in 1969. They have been playing their home games at Nationals Park since 2008. The official uniform color scheme of the National includes white, navy blue, and scarlet red. Mark Lerner is their current principal owner, and Mike Rizzo is performing his duties as president of baseball operations and general manager. Dave Martinez is working as the team's current manager. The official mascot of the Nationals is Screech.
The franchise's overall record at the start of the 2023 season was 4,123-4,387 (.484). Their overall record is 1,368-1,444 (.486) since relocating to the nation's capital. The Washington Nationals sent baseball's brightest young talent, Juan Soto, to the San Diego Padres on August 2, 2022, after he rejected a record-breaking 15-year, $440 million contract extension offer. As a result, the Nationals have lost a team symbol and one of the final critical players from their 2019 World Series winning squad.
The Nationals made history on June 18, 2022, when they retired Ryan Zimmerman's No. 11. The Montreal Expos retired four numbers in honor of former players during the team's time in the city, in addition to Jackie Robinson's number 42, which was retired across MLB in 1997. All numbers (except for 42) were put back into service after the relocation to the nation's capital, and they will continue in use until 2023.
This 2024 season is the 20th for the Washington Nationals as a Major League Baseball club in the nation's capital, the 17th for Nationals Park, and the 56th overall, dating back to the original franchise's founding in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The squad's present record stands at 19-20 (.487).
August will mark the start of Gallo's rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester; he will play five innings at first base while recovering from a left hamstring strain that has kept him on the injured list since June 12. After that, Gallo will play designated hitter for four at-bats before moving on to right field for five or seven innings.
