Nationals snag former Braves slugger in free agency

Spring Training is in full swing, and with the start of the 2024 MLB regular season inching ever closely, quality free agents continue to fly off the board. On Wednesday morning, the Washington Nationals picked up a hard-hitting outfielder from division rival Atlanta Braves in Eddie Rosario, according to Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extrabase.

This is a solid, low-risk pickup for the Nationals, as they only agreed to terms with Rosario on a one year contract worth up to $4 million in incentives. Rosario, as Alvarez-Montes pointed out, was able to latch onto an MLB team not too long after he switched representations from Roc Nation to Rimas Sports, an agency that's geared more towards helping latino athletes.
