00:00He goes 0 for 3, but we're expecting big things at a cruise.
00:08And the story now is Washington on the rebuild.
00:12What are the expectations for Dylan Cruz for the rest of the month of September?
00:15And also, do we think he's going to start with the ball club in 2025 here to start the
00:19season?
00:20Oh, yeah.
00:21I mean, he's going to be in their opening day lineup with James Wood and these young
00:26prospects.
00:27Washington is headed in the right direction, Donnie.
00:29I still feel like next year is that year that the Nationals, with those players and
00:35some others, get closer to 500.
00:37That kind of feels about accurate.
00:39And then two years from now, they dive back into free agency.
00:41Remember, this is the same team that spent hundreds of million dollars on Steven Strasburg.
00:45So they're not afraid to spend money.
00:47But I do think if they look in the division, and they see the Phillies, and they see the
00:52Braves, and even the Mets, that Washington is probably going to approach this like, hey,
00:56let's wait another year to see if those teams fall down a little bit more before we jump
01:00back in.
01:01Because inevitably, that's the way baseball works.
01:02It's in cycles.
01:03Washington had their cycle, won a World Series.
01:05Getting closer, not quite there yet.
01:07Cruz is a big add, though, for them.
