Steven Souza, a former Nationals farmhand, had to settle for a minor league contract, similar to the one Yasmany Tomas signed with Washington this year.

For Nationals fans Steven Souza will always be remembered for his diving catch in the outfield, to save a Jordan Zimmermann no hitter. He was also the piece the Nationals parted with in a trade which netted them Trea Turner and Joe Ross.
