Visiting Dugout Podcast 48 — Washington Nationals — 2024-05-13

Sox Populi - A Chicago White Sox podcast

The White Sox will see the Nationals again this year thanks to the balanced MLB schedule, so I have another chance to chat with the brilliant Davy Andrews. In a fun episode, we discussed the sister teams and their desire to pick up Some Guys from MLB’s clearance rack. Both teams seem to be proceeding with a “don’t call it a rebuild” rebuild by firing the front office and acquiring veteran players on one-year contracts in hopes of trade bait, but one team is at least winning games.

Here’s what we talked about in this episode:

• What’s new in the nation’s capital?
• If we stop the season right now
• Grading the offseason
• Hockey?
• Confidence going into 2024
• Commonalities and old friends
• Black Friday bargain bin shopping
• Pitching matchups
• Trevor Williams, CJ Abrams, and other likable guys
• Threats, fears, and keys to winning a series
• Thoughts for the 2024 season
