WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Clint Robinson cleared out his locker Tuesday afternoon and said goodbye to his teammates in the Nationals' clubhouse. He was getting ready to drive his family home, where they would discuss his uncertain future.
The Nationals placed Robinson on waivers, a move that had been in the cards since the team signed Adam Lind at the start of Spring Training. Robinson will have 72 hours to clear waivers, after which time he can either accept an assignment to Triple-A Syracuse, or choose to become a free agent.
Robinson, 32, became one of the staples of the Nationals bench the past two years in what became his first extended time in the Majors.
