So far this winter, the Washington Nationals have barely made a dent in their offseason wishlist.
The Nats have only made three major league additions this offseason. First, they re-signed utility man, Josh Harrison, then they brought in former Minnesota Twins’ farmhand, Sam Clay, on a major league deal, and finally claimed Rogelio Armenteros off waivers.
None of those moves grab the headlines necessarily. However, as a report yesterday suggested, that doesn’t mean that the Nationals aren’t working on things behind the scenes.
According to Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post, the Nationals pursued free agent first baseman, Carlos Santana, before he eventually agreed to a two-year, $17.
