Some perspective on the state of the Nationals: Reds Pres. of Baseball Ops. Dick Williams said the Reds haven't committed to players making this much money a lot lately.

Realmuto #Mets ’ No. 1 catching target, sources say; GM Van Wagenen represented him while at CAA, and knows how much he offers. However, NYM remain unwilling to meet #Marlins ’ price, which they consider exorbitant. Remember: MIA asked #Braves for Albies, #Dodgers for Bellinger.by Ken Rosenthal via twitter 12/13/2018 1:06:10 AM -

an elected official calling ProPublica, a highly respected investigative journalism outfit, a "left-wing activist group" while using an anti-Semitic dogwhistle is the kind of irresponsible language that gets newsrooms shot up, you embossed carbuncleby keithlaw via twitter 12/13/2018 1:15:42 AM

Reported this AM #Nationals were not sure Roark’s 2018 season justified potential $10M in arb. Sources say ownership voiced greatest concern.

When I met him in the clubhouse during my first week, I told him I was new to baseball. He told me that was fine and that he'd let me know if I was ever being "obtuse." That never came up again, but I always appreciated the offer.by Jesse Dougherty via twitter 12/13/2018 1:26:06 AM
