Washington Nationals must re-stock depth
The Washington Nationals had one of the best benches in the league in 2017, which was extremely beneficial. Now, they must re-stock.
In 2017, the Washington Nationals had one of the best benches in the league, led by slugger Adam Lind. This proved to be an enormous asset, as the Nats suffered a myriad of injuries and were forced to rely on their bench and organizational depth to keep them afloat.
Unfortunately, the bench is now in a bit of disarray. Lind, Howie Kendrick, Jose Lobaton, and Stephen Drew are all currently free agents. While they may re-sign with the Nats, it is also very possible that they all play elsewhere in 2018.
