The Washington Nationals continue to make moves around the fringes of their roster in the days since the new Collective Bargaining Agreement was ratified.
Following on from agreeing to a one-year deal with reliever Steve Cishek on Saturday, the Nationals’ latest move is the reported signing of Ehire Adrianza to a major league deal on Sunday.
The news was first reported by Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase and later confirmed by Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post, who also added that the deal is for $1.5 million with incentives.
During his nine-year major league career, Adrianza has been a light-hitting, versatile utility man who has played at every position aside from catcher in the majors, playing for the San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, and Atlanta Braves in that time.
