I break down the Connelly Early trade, and why it's a win-win. What are the Nats getting in Early?

A newspaper must not be a plaything for billionaires. This decision spits in the face of every DC native who cherished the Post, not to mention its incredible staff.

Rosario was a huge pop-up name, who broke out in 2024 and looked like an ace until he needed Tommy John. He should be back this season.
