Has the Washington Nationals' on-again, off-again pursuit of closer David Robertson hit a snag?
Bob Nightengale and Jorge L. Ortiz of USA Today cite a Nationals official who says the talks between Washington and the Chicago White Sox are ongoing, but the two sides “have hit a stalemate" and "no trade is imminent.”
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported last week that the Nationals were zeroing in on Roberston as a replacement for Mark Melancon, who signed as a free agent with the San Francisco Giants.
