Even though the Washington Nationals got most of their business done before the Winter Meetings, they’re still looking active this week. The latest Nationals rumors are suggesting that the team is intensifying its pursuit of second baseman DJ LeMahieu.
Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post reported that the two sides have had a few discussions now. Dougherty followed this up by saying that this likely means the interest between the two sides is beyond a preliminary stage and could result in a deal.
Despite the consistent message from the Nats’ front office that they’re satisfied with the current second base situation, it’s pretty clear that’s not the case.
