The Nationals finally reached the .500 mark, which means that we’ll need to find a new intro to Wire Taps on a daily basis. Unless they fall back under by a bunch, which will be simultaneously painful and provide something to gripe about for this blurb. But in the meantime, we can rue the fact that this offense is so homer-dependent. Try a single for once in your life, Kevin Long!
Here’s the deal from Detroit:
Adrián Sanchez, Nationals’ second-longest tenured player, is running out of options and time (WaPo)
Adrián Sanchez is the preferred extra infielder for these Nationals — but after this season, he'll be out of minor league options, meaning that the 1000+ games he played in the minors, all the miles on his Toyota Highlander with his wife and daughter, and all the painstaking efforts he puts in with the big-league club could finally all go by the wayside.
