Are the Washington Nationals serious about adding one of the New York Yankees' high-profile relievers?
Barry Svrluga of the Washington Post reports that the Yankees were scouting the Nationals’ Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse over the weekend, leading to speculation whether there is a “possible match” between the teams.
The Nationals, who might be looking for a ninth-inning option over the volatile Jonathan Papelbon, have been mentioned as one of the suitors should the Yankees move into sell mode and deal Aroldis Chapman or Andrew Miller.
