The Washington Nationals will hold a supplemental minor-league training camp at their West Palm Beach facility beginning Jan. 20, inviting roughly 60 minor-league players as part of a push to expand the club’s offseason player-development footprint. Players will work on strength and conditioning, nutrition, skill work and medical assessments under a stabilized coaching core that will remain in West Palm Beach for the season. This supplemental camp also follows a broader revamp of the Nationals’ minor-league operation. If the West Palm Beach experiment produces measurable gains in performance, health or cohesion, the Nationals plan to expand offseason programming in subsequent years. Keep an eye on the names heading to West Palm Beach—Sime Jr., Coy James, Dickerson and Feliz are worth following—and watch how the Nationals translate winter work into midseason promotions.
