Paul Toboni published a long letter to Nationals fans in which he discussed last season, the offseason and objectives for 2027. No earth-shattering news, but this was perhaps the most-notable section:

The Nationals enter the offseason with by far the fewest dollars committed to their 2027 roster than any team in baseball. There’s money to be spent on upgrades, even if they don’t exceed their 2026 payroll in the end. natsjournal.com/p/nats-have-mo…

Parker and Tena are probably the most-notable moves here. Parker was going to arbitration-eligible after having TJ surgery in July. Tena was out of options and less defensive value than the just-acquired Nate Furman.
