It is only November, but the Washington Nationals invited two players to Spring Training this February in Viera. Today, the organization announced that left-handed relief pitcher Sean Burnett and outfielder Reed Johnson are being signed to minor league contracts with an invite to Spring Training:
Starting with Johnson, the Nats signed him late into Spring Training back in March, but he was not on the field as much during the year. Johnson played 17 games this season with a slash line of .227/.250/.273 with no home runs and three RBI’s.
