Nationals Trade for Gold Glove First Baseman Nathaniel Lowe

Washington acquires Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers in exchange for left-handed reliever Robert Garcia.

Nathaniel Lowe, a 2023 Gold Glove winner and key player in the Rangers' World Series victory, joins the Nationals to address their need at first base.
Lowe hit .265 with 16 home runs, 69 RBIs, and a .762 OPS in 2024, adding a veteran presence to Washington's young roster.
The Nationals ranked near the bottom in home runs and slugging percentage last season, making Lowe's consistent offensive production a critical addition.
Robert Garcia, the 28-year-old reliever sent to Texas, posted a 4.22 ERA in 72 appearances in 2024 and is noted for his strong strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The Rangers traded Lowe after acquiring Jake Burger earlier this offseason, signaling a shift in their infield strategy.
