WASHINGTON -- With one shrewd move, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo solved a number of the team's lingering questions.

Two months into the offseason and only six weeks short of spring training, Washington still found itself in need of an outfielder, another left-handed bat, a leadoff hitter and a new home for Drew Storen. On Friday night, Rizzo and the Nationals accomplished all those things by acquiring Ben Revere from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Storen and cash. As part of the deal, the Nats also will receive a player to be named later.
