With Christmas Eve being today, which Washington Nationals made this year’s naughty or nice list?
Today is Christmas Eve and Santa Claus is checking his naughty or nice list to see which children will get coal in their stockings or receive presents underneath the tree. For the second straight year, Baseball Santa returns for the Washington Nationals and we will reveal which Nats are on the list that he’s checking twice.
While it may seem the Washington Nationals didn’t get the top players or best free agents this winter, they have found a way to add a center fielder in Adam Eaton and a new catcher in Derek Norris. They still have some shopping to do, although the Nats did reportedly reach a deal with Daniel Murphy last season, which ended up being the best present or free agent signing from last offseason.
This year, the baseball Santa is more kind to the Washington Nationals after they lived up to expectations during the 2016 season. They won 95 games and ended up winning their third division title in five years. Yes, the playoffs did not go as well for the Nats, but they played a competitive five game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS.
So, before you do your last minute holiday shopping, check out which Washington Nationals made the 2016 version of the naughty or nice list. Since we are usually positive people, let’s start with the three Washington Nationals who made the nice list before we reveal who made the naughty list.
