The Nationals are signing another minor league deal with utility player Dee Strange-Gordon.
The Nationals have requested unconditional release waivers for Dee Strange-Gordon.
Strange-Gordon's speed and versatility on defense could make him an intriguing option for another MLB team.
Maikel Franco and Víctor Arano also mdae the roster, while Will Harris and Stephen Strasburg landed on IL.
While it has been some time since Strange-Gordon was even a league-average hitter, he does offer some multi-positional versatility as a shortstop, second baseman and outfielder.
The 33-year-old was a two-time All-Star with the Marlins from 2014-15, when he was among baseball’s most prolific threats on the basepaths, but his base-stealing and overall offensive prowess have taken considerable steps back in the years since.
This marks the second time within the past few months that Strange-Gordon has been released from a minors pact.
Strange-Gordon has an accomplished resume — two All-Star bids, an NL batting title, a Gold Glove Award and three seasons with at least 58 stolen bases.
While Strange-Gordon could’ve still been in line for a bench role, it seems the Reds prefer to go with in-house options.
