Transaction Update
Back to the offseason grind, where we pass along the signings of journeymen with non-roster invitations and pretend that it’s meaningful:
• RHP Matt Albers
• RHP Joe Nathan
• RHP Vance Worley
• 2B Grant Green
[Crash Davis] They’re just happy to have the opportunity to see if they can help this ballclub win, and if they can’t make the Opening Day Roster, showcase themselves to the other 29 teams. [/Crash Davis]
Unless Rizzo can/is allowed to make any more bullpen moves in the next week, I think the Vance Worley signing will have more significance than maybe we would have liked.
Agree. Worley will have to pitch himself off the 25 man roster.
Also, MLB Trade Rumors reported that Nats are still discussing acquiring David Robertson from the White Sox. At this point, would hate to see any further attrition among the Nats top prospects. Think/hope that Robles/Fedde are close to untouchable.
Romero from Rays
Nice under the radar add
I could see Robertson as a future add
