	The Nationals are going to buy a little at the deadline	25 Jul 2026	00:21:30
Prognosticators got a lot wrong about the Washington Nationals. The latest error: The Nats no longer expect to be pure sellers at this year’s trade deadline. In a twist that would have been improbable at the start of the season, the Nationals also plan to acquire some big-league help, according to a person in the organization who was granted anonymity in exchange for candor. Those additions may be light in scope and could be outweighed by what the Nationals also sell — they still have an eye on their long-term plan, after all — but the intent to make additions of any kind is notable.
