2010 Washington Nationals season

March 2026 November 2013 Washington Nationals 2010 National League East Nationals Park Washington, D.C. 69–93 (.426) 5th Lerner Enterprises Mike Rizzo Jim Riggleman MASNWDCW (CW 50)(Bob Carpenter, Rob Dibble, Ray Knight) WWWT(Charlie Slowes, Dave Jageler) The Washington Nationals' 2010 season was the sixth season for the American baseball franchise of Major League Baseball in the District of Columbia, and the 42nd since the original team was started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It involved the Nationals attempting to win the National League East after a 59–103 season the year before – the worst record of any MLB team in 2009. Jim Riggleman was kept as full-time manager after being instituted on July 12, 2009 after Manny Acta's firing. Highlights from the season include Stephen Strasburg's 14-strikeout Major League debut on June 8 against the Pittsburgh Pirates and a bench-clearing brawl on September 1 at the Florida Marlins. The Nationals finished 2010 in last place in the NL East for the third year in a row with a 69–93 record, though they did have a ten-game improvement from 2009. They had a 41–40 record at home, their first winning home record since 2006. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman won the Silver Slugger Award for the second straight year as the best offensive third baseman in the National League. As the Texas Rangers won their first pennant that season, the Nationals became one of only two teams to have never played in the World Series, along with the Seattle Mariners Offseason On December 7, 2009, the Nationals traded a player to be named later to the New York Yankees for Brian Bruney; they sent Jamie Hoffman to the Yankees on December 10, 2009, to complete the trade.baseball-reference.com Trades between Washington Nationals & New York Yankees Spring training The Nationals held their 2010 spring training in Viera, Florida, with home games played at Space Coast Stadium.
