Christian Walker Drawing Interest from Multiple Teams, Including Nationals

Free agent first baseman Christian Walker is attracting attention from several teams, including the Washington Nationals, according to Fansided. 


Walker, who will be 34 next season, has emerged as a reliable power hitter and a three-time Gold Glove winner over the past few years. In the 2023 season, he played 130 games and posted a .251/.335/.468 batting line (121 OPS+), with 26 doubles, 26 home runs, 84 RBIs, and a WAR of 2.6. Despite being a late bloomer, Walker has solidified himself as a formidable presence at the plate and a defensive asset.


The Nationals are a logical fit for Walker. They boast a promising young core with players like James Wood, Dylan Crews, and CJ Abrams. Adding a seasoned power hitter like Walker could provide valuable leadership and offensive production, helping to nurture and support the development of their young talents.
