With Denard Span leaving for free agency, could the Nats look to Gerardo Parra to help Michael Taylor out in the outfield?
The Washington Nationals will likely lose starting center fielder Denard Span to free agency, who has manned the position for the Nats ever since they traded for him prior to the 2013 season. 24-year old Michael Taylor, who is coming off a quietly productive rookie campaign, looks poised to take over the job in 2016. However, there is some doubt around the league as to whether or not Taylor is ready to become a full-time starter for a team with playoff aspirations, causing President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo to consider other options outside the organization to fill the void left in Span’s absence.
