Our great people at Image Works Creative created this great graphic! Thanks for everything you do for us, and loved the Bryce Harper quote!


As we wait for the Nats radio team to announce their Spring Training radio schedule at 106.7 FM, we received MASN’s TV schedule in Grapefruit League action which includes 5 games in Florida and 2 games in April at Nats Park.

Davis and Hill both cleared waivers and were outrighted to AAA with Spring Training invites.

The first of the Nats arbitration players, Wilson Ramos, accepted a 1 year deal at $5,350,000.  That leaves the newly acquired Ben Revere and Strasburg, Rendon, and Espinosa remaining for arbitration.  Everyone left on that list are Boras Corporation clients except for Revere.

Have you ever wanted to be a Racing President? Tryouts are this weekend!

Bryce Harper is now a New Era cap ambassador. He appears in Rolling Stone magazine to talk about it.

We will see Lucas Giolito in Spring Training in Viera.  This past week, Giolito was in the DMV and a star at the Rookie Career Development program as the kid everyone wanted to meet.
