The Washington Nationals continue to target Chicago White Sox closer David Robertson as they try to shore up their bullpen heading into the 2017 season.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported the Nationals and White Sox are having an ongoing dialogue about a potential trade, though no deal is imminent. Washington is said to be hesitant to pick up Robertson's full salary or give up promising young players in exchange for the White Sox picking up part of the tab.
Robertson, 31, is due $25 million over the next two seasons.
