Wire Taps: Nationals place Aaron Barrett on waivers; 50/50 raffle reports $20K in unclaimed winnings; Nats to go hard for Mark Melancon

It may be World Series season, but that doesn't mean the Nats have gone into hibernation. Yet. Which means that there's still news.

Nationals place Aaron Barrett on waivers
Barrett was out for the entire season with multiple elbow injuries, and the Nats decided that it may soon be time to cut ties with the reliever.

Nats report more than $20,000 in unclaimed raffle ticket winnings
If you've been to Nationals Park for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday game, you'll know the 50/50 raffle -- half of the proceeds go to the Nationals Dream Foundation, and the other half goes to the winner.
