PRIORITIZE THE FUTURE: Why Aren't The Washington Nationals Starting Robert Hassell III?

Ryan finds himself frustrated with the Nats cause they have not given any at bats to Robert Hassell III since August 8th.... What are we doing? Ryan explains his frustrations to begin the show as the Nats should have all eyes on the future. We also get into the Nats having their top 30 prospects updated with the 2025 draft class, and it looks beautiful. Where does 1st overall pick Eli Willits fit amongst the game's best prospects?
