Nationals Looking For Corner Outfielder
4 years agoThe Washington Nationals are looking to sign a free-agent corner outfielder despite already trading for first baseman Josh Bell this offseason. Marcell Ozuna is the biggest name available, but he could be out of the team's price range after having a big year in Atlanta. Veteran Michael Brantley is more affordable and still brings a high-quality bat, but he has defensive questions. Kyle Schwarber is also a defensive liability, but he would be more attractive if the universal designated hitter remained in 2021. Joc Pederson and Adam Duvall could both be good fits and would also bring plenty of power to D.C. Pederson has 68 home runs in 340 games since 2018, while Duvall had a .545 slugging percentage for the Braves in the last two seasons.
