Right now the biggest hole on the Nationals roster is at third base. It seems like it has been this way ever since Anthony Rendon left. Luckily, Alex Bregman, the best third baseman in free agency by far is still on the market. Mark Lerner and Mike Rizzo should pounce at the opportunity to grab an All-Star third baseman. However, based on their actions this offseason, the prospect of ownership agreeing to a deal that pays more than $10 million a year seems unlikely.
Bregman would bring a elite defense, a steady bat, and much needed leadership to the locker room.
