When he first arrived at West Palm Beach, FL’s FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches for the start of his 1-year/$4M deal with the Washington Nationals, (which includes a $4M mutual option for 2021), Eric Thames, 33, was part of a crowd at first base that included both Howie Kendrick and Ryan Zimmerman (with Asdrúbal Cabrera as another backup option).
Four-ish months later, Kendrick is quarantined and Zimmerman has opted out of the 2020 MLB campaign, leaving Thames as the main first base option in Spring Training 2.
