The Washington Nationals reportedly made two signings on Sunday aimed at bolstering the team’s depth.
The first move was a one-year, $1.5 million deal with utility man Ehire Adrianza. The second was a minor-league deal to bring back starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez. The team hasn’t announced either deal, but both have been reported by multiple outlets. Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extra Base was first to report the Adrianza contract, while MLB Network’s Jon Heyman broke the Sanchez deal.
Adrianza, 32, has played 20-plus games at every position except center field, pitcher and catcher in his nine-year career with the Giants, Twins and Braves.
