Before Sunday afternoon’s matchup with the Houston Astros in Grapefruit League action in West Palm Beach, FL, the Washington Nationals announced the first round of roster cuts in 2021.
There were a couple of interesting/noteworthy decisions, which manager Davey Martinez addressed when he spoke with reporters before the announcement, but for the most part, the moves were what was expected from the first round.
