WASHINGTON – There has not been a lot of Major League Baseball news the past few days, thanks mostly to the lockout that began less than two weeks ago.
Teams are allowed to make moves with players who were not on major league rosters to end 2021, and the Nationals took advantage of that in recent days to sign veteran infielders Dee Strange-Gordon and Maikel Franco.
There was good news of a different kind coming out of the Washington Nationals’ Youth Baseball Academy here on Monday in southeast Washington.
The academy hosted its annual holiday gift exchange and members of the staff handed out presents to those that take part in after-school and youth baseball programs.
