After telling reporters that he was comfortable with the in-house options at second base early this offseason, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo acknowledged when he spoke about the position at the 2018 Winter Meetings that he was open to the possibility of the Nats signing or acquiring an infielder who could play there in 2019 and bridge the gap to the next generation of infielders in the organization.
“If there was a definite everyday second baseman that we liked that we thought was an upgrade, we would certainly consider that,” Rizzo said in Las Vegas.
“If it was more of a kind of a hybrid role, we would consider that.
