Washington Nationals Rumors: Nats reportedly interested in Tyson Ross

Tyson Ross struggled with right shoulder issues in 2016, which limited the 29-year-old right-hander to two starts (one in the minors and one in the majors for San Diego).

He underwent thoracic outlet surgery in mid-October, before the Padres non-tendered him in early December, making Ross a free agent. Ross’ younger brother, Joe, who dealt with his own shoulder issues last season (right shoulder inflammation) was asked if he’d lobbied at all for Washington to sign his sibling when he spoke to reporters at the Nats’ Winterfest event on December 10th.

“I’ve been trying,” Ross joked.
