The infield market is closing fast.
Washington has stated in the path that they are committed to Carter Kieboom, but that hasn’t kept them from looking around. At different times during the off-season, the Nationals have been tied to multiple infielders including Kris Bryant, Eugenio Suarez, and D.J. Lemahieu. All three would be a vast improvement over the unproven Kieboom, but Washington has balked at the asking price.
