The Equation of Signing Alex Bregman

This equation is purely hypothetical, but it's fun to imagine: Alex Bregman + Dylan Crews equals a potent and powerful Washington Nationals batting lineup.Now, if you rewrite the equation as Alex Bregman + Dylan Crews + already drafted LSU alumni in the Nationals' system + Nationals' farm system + current 40-man roster, it suggests a strong shot at making multiple postseason appearances and playing above 0.500 baseball. Of course, the math isn't exact, and simply signing Alex Bregman won't instantly guarantee these outcomes. But the possibilities are exciting to consider.

Strong Like Schwarzenegger

When considering this scenario, it's easy to let the imagination run wild. I immediately think of the Nationals winning two or even three games in a playoff series. Over time, adding Bregman could make their batting lineup as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime. Not only would Bregman bolster the lineup, but his veteran experience and insight would be invaluable in the clubhouse. Bregman's exceptional batting, baserunning, and leadership could be a key asset in developing younger players like Trey Lipscomb, helping him become a more refined third baseman. Having a veteran like Bregman on the team could lead to positive outcomes for the Nationals both on and off the field.

The Nationals Become the Miami Heat of MLB

If the Nationals secure Alex Bregman, they could have the chance to build a team reminiscent of the Miami Heat's NBA dynasty. With Bregman, Crews, and Paul Skenes—three former LSU baseball stars—the Nationals could form a powerhouse. By 2030, Bregman would be 36, and with the team likely making moves to acquire a star player like Pittsburgh Pirates' starting pitcher Skenes, they could create an MLB "big three" similar to the iconic trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in basketball.

This is All Hypothetical History

The thing is, this is all hypothetical history. As explained from the very beginning, the Nationals may not even pursue Alex Bregman. The Boston Red Sox have reportedly shown interest in trying to bring Bregman to Boston, while the Nationals seem to be focusing on developing young stars from their farm system and getting them onto the major league roster. With spring training just around the corner, the Nationals will have a lot of options to consider regarding the third-base position.
