The Washington Nationals are seemingly figuring out ways to remain in the headlines around the league on a pretty consistent basis at this point. Just in the past few weeks alone, the Nationals have acquired a new starting catcher in Harry Ford, and then on Monday went out and swung a prospect trade to land a new flamethrowing righty.
Between both of those moves, however, the Nationals did not land a player guaranteed to begin the season in the big leagues, although Ford does appear likely to be on the big league team at the start of the season.
