Major League Baseball's 2026 season has concluded, setting the stage for offseason awards and key Hot Stove dates involving the Washington Nationals. Outfielder Daylen Lile is nominated for a Gold Glove in left field, while CJ Abrams and James Wood are prominent contenders for multiple honors, including Silver Slugger awards and potential MVP votes following their standout offensive seasons.
Key business dates include the qualifying offer deadline on November 2, when eligible free agents may also begin signing with any club. The General Managers Meetings take place November 10-12 in Las Vegas, alongside several BBWAA and MLB award announcements scheduled throughout the month.
