Wire Taps: Washington Nationals’ 2021 Spring schedule; Nats’ ‘21 rotation + more...

It’s Saturday morning. We are scraping the bottom of the unused quote barrel to bring you this one from Brad Hand, who wore the No. 52 between 2011-18 before switching to No. 33 from 2018-19, and No. 21 in 2020. Now that he’s with the Nationals, what number will Hand have on the back of his jersey? He said he didn’t know when he spoke with reporters shortly after signing with the Nationals last month.

“I do not,” he explained. “The clubhouse manager texted me a little while ago, I have to call him after this, but I was looking through the roster, and if 52 is available, I’m probably going to go back to that.
