Overview
- Sixty-six players were non-tendered at the Nov. 21 deadline, quickly expanding the pool of available free agents.
- Federal Baseball identifies catcher Jonah Heim, reliever Jacob Webb and utility infielder Ramón Urías as sensible targets for the Nationals based on roster needs and price.
- FanSided proposes landing spots across the market, including Heim to Washington, Urías to Atlanta and Adolis García to Philadelphia, framing them as speculative fits rather than imminent deals.
- Heim was an All-Star and 2023 champion with Texas but has seen offense and defense dip; Webb logged a 3.00 ERA in 55 outings with mixed FIP/xFIP and strong soft-contact rates; Urías offers multi-position defense with steady, if modest, production.
- Writers describe these options as low-risk depth plays that could become midseason trade chips, and no Nationals agreements with the named players are reported.
