Luis García Jr. - Avoids arbitration with Nationals The Nationals and Garcia avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.

Impact It's unclear what Garcia's salary will be, but he'll receive a raise after making $4.5 million in 2025. The second baseman slashed .252/.289/.412 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases across 139 games this past season. Garcia will be eligible for salary arbitration a final time next winter.

Jake Irvin - Avoids arbitration The Nationals and Irvin avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.8 million contract Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Irvin finished the 2025 campaign with a 5.70 ERA while serving up a major-league high 38 home runs. The right-hander's durability has been his biggest asset to this point, as he's made 33 starts in consecutive seasons. Irvin does not appear locked into a rotation spot in 2026, though his chances of nabbing one would increase if the Nationals trade MacKenzie Gore.
