2018: A similar roster, but under new management

The arrival of Dave Martinez as the Nationals' new management coincided with the departure of aging veteran slugger Jayson Werth, whose leadership qualities may be sorely missed. During the off-season, the Nats' front office reached terms with all of their arbitration-eligible veterans, and signed Howie Kendrick (acquired from the Phillies in mid-summer) to a one-year extension. Adam Eaton returned to the lineup and started the 2018 season on a red-hot streak, but quickly injured himself, just like the year before. Daniel Murphy had surgery on his knee in October, but the healing process was prolonged and he did not return to the lineup until July. Meanwhile, Anthony Rendon, Ryan Zimmerman, Howie Kendrick, and Matt Wieters all spent time on the disabled list. The top four pitchers in the starting rotation were the same as in 2017, and Jeremy Hellickson took over the fifth spot in late April. After a lousy first month, the banged-up Nats bounced back in May, but then fell flat again in June. While the Braves and Phillies were in a race for the NL East Division title, Daniel Murphy was traded to the Cubs on August 21, as the Nats' hopes for a postseason run had all but ended. Gio Gonzalez was traded to the Brewers on August 31. Both players were in the final year of their contracts.

Annual summaries and rosters

SOURCE: My unofficial daily tabulations from MLB Gameday stats, MASN-TV, Washington Post, and other newspapers.
? -- Data not yet verified, subject to revision.
* -- Asterisks indicate the data include March (for April) or October (for September).
# -- Games scheduled for Sept. 25, 2008 and Sept. 7, 2011 were cancelled because of rain, and were not made up later, so the Nationals only played 161 games in those years.

Nationals' winning percentages, day-to-day, for each year

DYNAMIC CHART:
Mouse rollover.

* -- Played for less than half the season in this position. Positions for 2011 are based on number of innings for the first three months, subject to change. Starting players whose names are stricken through were on the disabled list for several weeks. Yellow background denotes NL Most Valuable Player or (for pitchers) NL Cy Young Award. Names that are underlined indicate players who were selected for the All Star Game. In addition, three Nationals relief pitchers played in All Star Games: Chad Cordero (2005), Matt Capps (2010), and Tyler Clippard (2011 and 2014). Capps and Clippard were credited with the wins in the 2010 and 2011 games.
** In 2012, pitcher Gio Gonzalez was also chosen, Ian Desmond was chosen but decided not to play because of a strained back muscle, and Bryce Harper was chosen as a last-minute replacement after coming in third in the "Final Vote." In both 2013 and 2014, Jordan Zimmermann was chosen, but decided not to play either time because of, respectively, a strained neck and a strained bicep. Likewise, Stephen Strasburg was selected in 2016, but decided not to play because of health issues, and in 2017, but did not get a chance to pitch. In 2018, Sean Doolittle was also selected, but was on the disabled list.

Miscellaneous records

The table similar to the one above was originally presented in my April 5, 2013 blog post. It shows the Nationals' win-loss records against each team in regular season games, going back to 2005. In postseason games, the Nationals are 2-3 vs. STL (2012), 1-3 vs. SF (2014), 2-3 vs. LAD (2016), and 2-3 vs. CHC (2017).
* MIA was coded as "FLA" before 2012.
