Nats have foundation to be contenders in 2015

Although they were eliminated from the National League Division Series by the Giants with Tuesday’s 3-2 loss in Game 4, the Nationals are expected to be contenders for several years. The rotation is set for next season, with Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann leading the way, while Jayson Werth, Bryce Harper and Ian Desmond will be mainstays on offense.
