Nationals Notes: DeRosa, Burnett

The Nationals finished the regular season at the top of the heap, but last night their impressive season ended at the hands of the Cardinals.  There's always next year for the Nats, though one veteran says that he may decide to call it a career.  Here's the latest out of Washington..

• Mark DeRosa was left pondering his future after last night's game, writes Amanda Comak of The Washington Times.  The 37-year-old believes that he has been hampered by injury in recent years and is capable of doing more, but isn't sure if another opportunity will come along this winter.  Then again, the veteran noted that he wasn't expecting a phone call last year either before the Nats signed him to a one-year deal in December.
• Reliever Sean Burnett seems likely to turn down his end of the $3.5MM mutual option he has for the 2013 season, but he would ultimately like to return to the Nats, writes Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post.  Burnett will undergo surgery next week to take care of a bone spur issue, according to a person familiar with his injury.
• Earlier today, we learned that Edwin Jackson would like to stay with Washington as he gets ready to hit the open market.  Adam LaRoche also reiterated his desire to stay put but disclosed that contract talks have yet to really advance.
