Nationals Notes: Johnson, Pitching, Jackson, LaRoche

By Zachary Links | November 7, 2012 at 9:58pm CDT

Earlier today, Tim Dierkes profiled the Nationals in the latest installment of the Arbitration Eligibles series.  Here’s more on the Nats..

  • The Nationals have yet to reach agreement on a new deal with manager Davey Johnson for 2013 and beyond, but General Manager Mike Rizzo says he is confident about getting a deal done, tweets Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post.
  • Johnson told MLB.com’s Bill Ladson that he is also confident that an agreement will be reached and that a deal could be struck as early as Thursday.  “There isn’t really any rush for me,” Johnson said. “I’m not worried about it. I assume everything is going to worked out. I don’t feel like it’s an emergency. I feel like I’m still the manager.“
  • Rizzo said the Nats aren’t far down the road on anything when it comes to the starting pitching market, Amanda Comak of the Washington Times tweets.  Right-hander Edwin Jackson has said that he would like to return to Washington but will also listen to offers from other clubs.
  • Meanwhile, Rizzo was honest when asked about the club’s decision not to extend Jackson a qualifying offer, explaining that he liked some free agent options better and didn’t want to get locked in, Kilgore tweets.
  • The Nationals have been in contact with Adam LaRoche’s agents and continue to talk, tweets Comak.
  • Ladson also notes that the Nationals re-signed catcher Carlos Maldonado to a minor league contract and signed outfielder Ray Kruml to a minor league deal.  Maldonado elected free agency last month.

    Nats don’t leak much. In contrast to, say, Arizona. You will not know what Rizzo is going to do until he does it…

      The Reds have a big Leake though.

    Wish Edwin luck. He faltered down the stretch but he was a more than adequate starter for the Nats most of the year. Pitched well enough to win most of his starts, stayed healthy, ate up innings, and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Hope he lands somewhere he can stay for more than a couple months.

    what about Nick Johnson. Can the Nats hire him as roving hiting instructor? Teach them how to take a walk or two and drive up ptich counts? Werth and LaRoche are only ones who don’t seem offended by free passes.
