Transaction Update
No Nationals got into yesterday’s 19-4 debacle in Peoria but we do a have a few transactions to pass along…
ELECTED FREE AGENCY
• 1B Clint Robinson
• RHP Jacob Turner
RE-SIGNED
• IF Bryan Mejia
• C Adderling Ruiz
• LHP Hector Silvestre
No real surprises here – the guys that left might hook on elsewhere, the guys that didn’t felt like they wouldn’t (or their agents did).
Farewell to CRob, who had a couple of good years in the majors after long toil in the minors, and Jacob Turner, who still throws hard . . . but gets hit harder.
Bryan Mejia posted a .924 OPS at Hags in 2015 and looked like a prospect, but .626 and then .589 at Potomac have derailed him. He’ll turn 24 before next season, but it’s hard to see him moving on up to Harrisburg with those numbers.
