Washington Nationals: Potential starting second base candidates in 2019
The Washington Nationals are slated to have several holes in 2019, including at second base. Will they stay in-house, or bring in a free agent for the job?
The Washington Nationals were always going to be scouring the second base market this winter. However, this month’s trade of pending free agent Daniel Murphy officially sealed the deal.
Replacing Murphy is an impossible task. Among qualified second baseman since the start of 2016, the three-time All-Star is first in OPS, second in average, third in strikeout rate, and fifth in fWAR.
