The Nationals have found their 2021 version of Brock Holt, in Hernan Perez.

First baseman, check. Power hitter, check. Fourth starter, check. Utility infielder, potentially a check. While the Nationals faithful continue to hold out hope Tommy La Stella is signed to a major league contract, another veteran utility player has been signed to a minor league contract. Before you get your hopes up, the player is not named Brock Holt.
