2025 BREAKDOWN: James Wood Proved To Be The Star Player That The Washington Nationals Needed

We start our series of player breakdowns as we look at James Wood's stellar first full season with the Nats as he turned heads on a national scale. Ryan discusses what stood out from Wood's rookie season, and what made him special. We then look at where he can improve for the 2026 season and believe it or not, there's plenty of room for improvement. Paul Toboni was ALMOST named the GM in another major market, and we discuss that story here.
