Ryan Zimmerman, 36, is returning to the Washington Nationals after opting out of the MLB’s coronavirus-shortened 2020 season.
Zimmerman agreed to a one-year, $1 million deal that will include incentives per MASN’s Mark Zuckerman.
“Christmas came early” for longtime Washington National Ryan Zimmerman.
Thursday, the greatest player in franchise history received a very special gift in the mail: his own personal Commissioner’s Trophy. Heather Zimmerman documented the unboxing.
Mr. Washington National, Ryan Zimmerman, has decided against playing during the abbreviated 2020 MLB season.
Zimmerman announced his decision in a statement through his agency CAA Baseball.
Heather Zimmerman, the wife of Washington Nationals’ first baseman and amateur NHL goaltender Ryan Zimmerman, took to Twitter on Saturday to announce the birth of the couple’s third child. It’s their first boy.
“How we’ve spent the last 2 weeks 🥰,” Heather wrote on Twitter.
That time frame would place the birth date of Baby Boy Zim at or around May 30.
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.”

Two weeks after revealing himself to be a big Washington Nationals fan, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, did an interview with Washington Nationals’ first baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
Fauci, at times seemingly star-struck that he was speaking to Zimmerman, answered several serious questions about the coronavirus pandemic. He also spoke about his love for baseball spanning all of his life and went more into detail about how baseball and other sports could return.
“So, as we start trying to get back to normality and pulling back on some of the strict mitigation, we have a three-phase way to get back to normal,” Dr. Fauci said. “First, you get past the checkpoint, the gateway. Kind of like minor leagues before you get into the big leagues. Then you go into Phase 1, then you go into Phase 2, and then Phase 3. If we do that successfully and there are no major outbreaks, I could foresee any of a number of scenarios. One of the scenarios would be… to see it on TV. Get the players all tested so they’re negative and won’t infect each other. Let them go to a few places where you can play ball and play and watch it on TV. That’s one option. The next option is to do the same thing, but if things are really low, to restrict the number of people in the stadium. Say: When you get online to get your ticket, the way we do back on Capital Street, we stand there and you’re six feet away from the person in front of you instead of face to face when the crowd comes in. The next thing, every fifth seat or every fourth seat. That could be done. The best of all, if things really work out well, you could have a regular season. I hope there’s some form of baseball this summer even if it’s just TV.”
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.
