As of Saturday afternoon, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo said that he hadn’t closed the door on the possibility of signing free agent Josh Donaldson.
Any possibility of that happening officially ended on Tuesday night when the 34-year-old, 10-year veteran reportedly agreed to a 4-year/$92M deal with the Minnesota Twins.
So how will the Nationals fill the hole at third base left by Anthony Rendon’s departure to LA on a 7-year/$245M free agent deal with the Angels?
Donaldson’s deal with the Twins is four years and $92 million guaranteed ($23 million AAV), per source.
