Dear Nats Report Subscriber,
This season started long before Opening Day for us. The crack of the final bat in 2025 hadn’t even faded before we were already thinking ahead: sketching ideas, building plans, and dreaming up new ways to bring Nationals fans closer to the game they love. While the ballpark lights dimmed for the winter, our work was just beginning.
That’s why we sent Ryan to West Palm Beach, where the first sights and sounds of baseball returned: the pop of the mitt, the buzz of the clubhouse, and the promise of a fresh start. From experiencing early-morning batting practice, bullpen sessions, in-field drills, Ryan was there capturing the energy, the stories, and the moments that remind us why we love this game. It’s all part of the behind-the-scenes access and authentic connection you can only get from The Nats Report.
Now, Opening Day is almost here just one week away and the excitement is building. As the Nationals prepare to take the field, we’ve been just as busy off it, working around the clock to make your coverage better than ever, from the Minors all the way to the Majors.
Nobody covers the Nationals like we do. This month alone, we’ve rolled out something new every single week to bring you closer to the team and the stories that matter most. We never stop innovating or listening to our readers because our mission has always been simple: to make The Nats Report your home for all things Nationals.
Here’s what’s fresh this month:
Reporte Nats – Our brand-new Spanish-language site, created to bring Nationals coverage to an even wider community of fans because Nats Nation habla español, too.
A brand-new front page experience: Sleek, fast, and built for quick access to Nationals news, analysis, and features.
Season-long Chat Room: Talk Nationals baseball with fans around the world, all season long. (Don’t miss our AMA this Sunday at 7:00 p.m. EDT!)
Live Rochester Red Wings Blog: Every game, every highlight, every update on the Nationals’ Triple-A team, all in one place.
COMING SOON: The Weekender: Launching Saturday: your new weekend digest with the week’s biggest stories, insights, and analysis delivered straight to your inbox.
We’re just getting warmed up. And now the big one...
