Nats Hot Stove 1/25/25
« on: January 24, 2025, 12:20:53 pm »
This is a ticketed event for SPH where Rizzo, Davey, some marketing folks, and maybe a current / former player like Zimmerman or Gio talk about the upcoming season - the team, the system, ballpark events, etc... In the past they've solicited questions from the attendees in advance but they've gotten away from that. Nevertheless, there's usually a bit of news. I'll try to post here during the event.

They often summarize the promo schedule, but that is posted already. [add link]

I've run into PowerBoater there a few times in recent years. Anyone else going?

I bought last August thinking they might be worth watching.

Okay.

However much you feel comfortable, please express the fan base's displeasure at the lack of talent acquisition this offseason, and that the lack of spending on this talent is directly leading to fans deciding to spend their money elsewhere.

It's hard to imagine they'll be taking any questions live. They'll regret it if they call on my wife, as she's prepared to air her grievances :o Maybe a jersey unveiling? 20th anniversary throwbacks perhaps? Although I believe they had leaked in advance, this was when they unveiled the new away and alt jerseys a year ago.

No live questions. Didn't solicit qs in advance. They know what people think.

At the Pirates event last weekend, the season ticket holders broke into a “sell the team” chant. I’m afraid the Nats SPH group is too polite for that, but the Lerners certainly deserve it.

Riz on gio: 1st big trade as gm. Scared. Gio says should have been. Saw him in high school & latched onto him. Had been doing Oakland deals, had just and stras, looked for lefty to add, worked.

Riz on rebuild: done before can do again,...

Flipping deals: how you gather assets from deals. When stars become stars, add via trade / big FAs. Home grown make you great, then add. Name checks roster, minors depth best have had.

We've been bad but.. 
Notes now gave 3 division behemoths, draft lottery makes it different from before.
