One of the biggest days of the MLB calendar is slowly drawing closer. The annual Winter Meetings begin on Monday December 10th and while the Washington Nationals have done a lot of business, it would be foolish to rule out another trade.
General Manager Mike Rizzo has been keen to get a lot of his business done early by filling all of the team’s major needs already. Bringing in Patrick Corbin on Tuesday afternoon was the fifth move the team made this offseason, but it was easily the biggest one yet.
However, the $140 million pitcher has put a bit of a strain on costs as the team’s payroll now nears the luxury tax threshold.
