The Nationals have released veteran infielder Jamey Carroll, Mark Zuckerman of CSNWashington.com tweets. They have also released pitcher Chris Young, tweets MASNsports.com's Dan Kolko.
Carroll, 40, collected 249 plate apppearances with the Twins and Royals last season, hitting a meager .211/.267/.251. He signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals in January. Young, 34, last appeared in the big leagues in 2012 with the Mets. He pitched sparingly in the Nats' system in an injury-plagued 2013 season.
Come back as a coach, Jamey!
Young won’t be a FA for long, he had a good spring and would have made many other clubs. The Nats just had better options available.
Thought we would be able to trade Young. Not that we have any leverage though.
Did he end up breaking .200? He’s done.
I think you got the 2 chris youngs mixed up.
Oh meant Carroll. Sorry
Yeah, Carroll is probably done, but WhoKilled was referring to Chris Young.
Texas Rangers, come on down.
The Nationals are really helping us out down here this week.
Im surprised the Nat’s would release Young. He’d be good depth in the minors
he had an opt-out clause if not on the major league roster, I believe
Might have requested it
Wish we could have been able to keep Chris Young as depth but oh well.
