January 2020 Update

 Time for a new sports update for 2020. The Washington Nationals won the World Series in 2019. As "world champions" I am still looking forward to this coming 2020 season. Nats have lost a few players including Rendon, but they have most of the same team back for 2020, plus a few good additions. They still need a third basemen to replace Rendon. They have a great outfield of Adam Eaton, sensational Juan Soto coming off a great season last year, and last year's rookie Victor Robles. The Nats re-signed Steven Strasburg to go with starters Pat Corbin and Max Scherzer.
 The Washington Redskins football team finally fired their GM and head coach, and now have a new head coach in Ron Rivera. The Redskins have a good young quarterback in Dwayne Haskins and some very good receivers and defensive linemen. The team could surprise and make the playoffs this next Fall.
 The Washington Wizards did not make the playoffs again this season and John Wall was injured most of last season and still this season. They seem to be in a rut of not making the playoffs but also not getting a good lottery pick in the draft. They have a few good young players, but need one more good big inside scorer.
 The Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2019(yes!!! finally!!), and are really good(again) this season, and should be in the playoffs again. Hopefully they get on a run during the playoffs like last season and win another Stanley Cup. Alex Oventchin had another great season and keeps getting better with age.
 In college sports, the Maryland Terps football team had a bad and losing season with their rookie head coach Mike Locksley. They had a good recruiting season this year, but need to show improvement or won't keep recruiting good. The Maryland Terps basketball team got off to a great start last season and made the NCAA playoffs but lost in the second round. This year the Terps were ranked #4 pre-season, and they should make the playoffs this year.
 The Maryland Terps baseball team was a disappointment last season and did not make the College World Series playoffs. But, they have a good young coach and had a great recruiting class(#10 nationally) this year. As usual, the Maryland Terps have good teams in both women and men in the minor sports of Lacrosse, soccer and Field Hockey.
