We couldn’t help thinking the decision to send catcher Riley Adams down to Triple-A to get regular at-bats and reps, (both behind the plate and at first base, as skipper Davey Martinez explained the plan with the 26-year-old catcher when he was optioned out and Tres Barrera came up earlier this week), might have something to do with the future at first base in the nation’s capital if it is the last month of Josh Bell’s time in a Nationals uniform. Who plays first right now if Josh Bell is unavailable, or if he’s traded before the August 2nd deadline?
