MINOR LEAGUE FREE AGENCY
For the first time since 2019, we have a list of the two dozen or so guys who are parting ways with Washington. This is the six-year parole for the Nats’ 2015 Draft class, which produced five MLB players – THREE for the Nationals.
RHPs – Tomas Alastre, Dakota Bacus, Joan Baez, Aaron Barrett, Bryan Bonnell, Bryan Dobzanski, Steven Fuentes, Kyle McGowin, Pearson McMahan, Diego Moreno, Carlos Navas, Ronald Peña, Luis Reyes, Jefry Rodriguez, Mario Sanchez
LHP – Nick Wells
C’s – Juan Paulino, Raudy Read, Jakson Reetz
IFs – Humberto Arteaga, Ali Castillo, Aldrem Corredor, Osvaldo Duarte, Ian Sagdal
OFs – Rafael Bautista, Destin Hood, Daniel Palka, Rhett Wiseman
These are the declared free agents, according to Baseball America. With this being the offseason, it is possible that any omissions could mean that they were re-signed or that they were released, though this year MLB has been a LOT less coy about releases.
