WASHINGTON – On the one hand, infielder Wilmer Difo is a versatile defender who played a small role in helping the Nationals reach the World Series last season.
On the other hand, he has been in the Major Leagues since 2015 and has not been able to become an everyday player – save for 2017-18 when he played at least 124 games in each season due in part to injuries.
Now the native of the Dominican Republic appears to be at another career crossroads at the age of 28.
