Soto, Turner, healthy rotation key for champ-to-chump Nats
By HOWARD FENDRICHMarch 17, 2021 GMT
WASHINGTON (AP) Juan Soto and Trea Turner helped make the Washington Nationals’ offense go in their 2019 World Series title season, were the only true bright spots during a tied-for-last finish in a truncated 2020 and are expected to lead the lineup again in 2021.
After so much turnover over the 18 months leading up to opening day on April 1, the team’s plans for putting its 26-34 record in the past revolve around their slugging right fielder and speedy shortstop, both of whom the Nationals would love to sign for the long term.
Brian Dozier learned Spanish to be a better teammate. There s a lesson for MLB.

Brian Dozier had 4,900 major league plate appearances, and only 482 of them came with the Washington Nationals. When he retired from baseball last month, he did so as a Minnesota Twin, the team that drafted him, developed him, brought him to the big leagues and made him an all-star.
And yet in Washington, where no fan has witnessed an in-person major league game since - why, since the 2019 World Series - Dozier is best remembered as the shirtless dude from Mississippi, holding some sort of Anheuser-Busch product that wasn t long for this world, crooning reggaeton lyrics in . . . Spanish? Which brought no small measure of delight to his Spanish-speaking teammates.
