Washington Post writer Jesse Dougherty reported that Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo told reporters at the General Managers’ Meetings in Carlsbad, CA on Wednesday that he did not, “... see upgrading at second as a top priority this offseason.”
“Right now,” Dougherty wrote on Twitter, “[Rizzo] is comfortable with Howie Kendrick and Wilmer Difo in that spot.”
In a follow-up tweet, the WaPost reporter noted that Carter Kieboom, the Nats’ top infield prospect, has played some second base in the Arizona Fall League, and plans to work out there this winter should a need arise at second base in 2019.
