The Washington Nationals should target outfielder Corey Dickerson.
Dickerson was designated for assignment Saturday night by the Tampa Bay Rays. Amid yet another fire sale, Tampa dumped his non-guaranteed $5.95 million salary to cut costs for the financially challenged team.
The 28-year-old Dickerson made the American League All-Star team and started in left field. In Tampa’s weak defense, his production slid the second half of 2017. Still, because this is an arbitration salary, they can cut him for virtually nothing the first two weeks of spring training.
Although he will not make it to Washington’s spot on the waiver claim wire, Dickerson’s power is worth pursuing.
