Max Scherzer

Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alexander Alexeyev attend last Nationals game before trade deadline, see Juan Soto homer off Max Scherzer

Washington Capitals teammates Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alexander Alexeyev were at Nationals Park for what appeared to have the makings of a memorable night. The game featured the Nationals’ former ace, Max Scherzer, starting against the Nats as a member of the New York Mets.

The game was also the Nationals’ last before the trade deadline on Tuesday. The team is reportedly fielding offers for superstar outfielder Juan Soto after rejecting a 15-year, $440 million offer to stay with the team long-term last month.

Juan Soto sat front row at Dodger Stadium to cheer on former teammates Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in playoff game

The Washington Nationals essentially eliminated themselves from playoff contention in late July by trading away stars Trea Turner and Max Scherzer to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Nats would end up finishing dead last in the National League East and own the fifth-worst record in baseball.

None of that has stopped their young, phenom outfielder Juan Soto from enjoying the postseason though as he was in attendance in LA to watch his former teammates play an NL Wild Card game against the St. Louis Cardinals. And oh yeah, he was wearing his World Series ring.

Washington Nationals post emotional tribute video for Max Scherzer after trade to Dodgers

After being swept by the Baltimore Orioles last week, the Washington Nationals decided to blow up the team and rebuild, leaving only a handful of players remaining from the 2019 World Series team.

The Nats made six trades over the last 24 hours – none more painful than sending pitching ace Max Scherzer and star shortstop Trea Turner to the Dodgers for four prospects.

Friday night, after things finally settled down, the Nats posted this tribute video for Scherzer.

Behind the scenes of the Washington Nationals’ World Series celebration and shirtless Zamboni ride at the Nov. 3 Capitals game

The Washington Nationals beat the Houston Astros 6-2 in Game Seven of the World Series to become world champions for the first time. In the locker room, they tried to drink out of the Commissioners’ Trophy like it was the Stanley Cup – at some point bending three of its flags. On November 2, the team paraded down Constitution Avenue. The next evening the players filed into a party bus and drove into the underbelly of Capital One Arena to celebrate at a Capitals game.

“That was the best night for me,” Adam Eaton said in an interview on the RMNB Podcast. “I loved the parade but this was better than the parade. The reason it was better than the parade was because — no offense to the families — it was the last time that we could have everybody together. Just the boys. It was the roster. There was no wives, no kids, no nothing. It was just the boys. Let’s go.”

Six new Washington Nationals banner ceremony bobbleheads have been released featuring championship rings

The Washington Nationals were supposed to celebrate their World Series championship last week at Nats Park. On Thursday (April 2), the Nats were going to reveal their championship banner during their home opener. The team then planned to present players with their championship rings two days later. The coronavirus pandemic robbed us of both of those games, but not the bobbleheads that were made to commemorate those events.

World Series champion Adam Eaton released a photo of FOCO’s latest series of Nationals’ championship bobbleheads on his Instagram account. This design celebrates the Nationals banner ceremony and championship rings and gives hints at what both will look like. Eaton is immortalized in resin as well as star players Max Scherzer (yes, both eyes are different colors), Stephen Strasburg, Juan Soto, Ryan Zimmerman, and Howie Kendrick.

Nats fans can purchase the bobbleheads through this link.
