The Nationals have signed infielder Luis Sardinas to a minor league contract, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
The 25-year-old Sardinas had been available since he elected free agency in October, which came after a nearly two-season run with the Orioles. Sardinas was barely a factor in the majors as an Oriole, with whom he collected 20 plate appearances (all last year), but did total 578 PAs with their Triple-A affiliate from 2017-18. He previously saw Triple-A action with the Rangers, with whom he was a top-1oo prospect on multiple occasions, as well as the Brewers, Mariners and Padres.
In all, the switch-hitting Sardinas is a .285/.318/.369 batter in 1,466 attempts at the minors’ highest level, which is hardly impressive but still far outshines the .224/.272/.292 line he has posted in 500 major league PAs. Sardinas last racked up extensive big league experience in 2016, when he amassed 197 PAs between Seattle and San Diego and hit .244/.295/.356.
Finally, the wait us ov …
Oh, nevermind.
Still just twenty-five years old, needs to just to AAA and practice practice practice. Some times these guys have the God given talent to get but that is what has hurt them. They haven’t learned how to work on the little stuff to get to the next level
He seems like he has been on the verge of making it in the majors for a long time, but he is only 25. wow.
He’s finally left Baltimore he’s free freeeeee
Top 2 position players, the #2 starter and the # 1 reliever still on the Free agent board and fans are anxiously waiting for the lesser class of baseball being sold ..
I like this cat as a breakout utility type fella who gets flipped at the deadline. Think this is the year he puts it together.
He won’t be on the big club unless there are at least three IF injuries. Not counting 1B.
Cubs sign a has been pitcher to a minor league contract and everyone laughs and has smart comments. The Nationals sign this guy no comments.
The nationals are a .500 team in a smaller market without a World Series bandwagon.
The Nationals have also made real moves this offseason.
Wash have already made quality moves, highlighted by Corbin, Dozier & trade for Barraclough. Cubs best moves: Descalso & Brach. There’s a difference.
Nationals had a lot more holes to fill.
of he starts hot in AAA im gonna have to have renewed faith in him for about the dozenth time now
Im a ranger fan, so i watched him cpl seasons. Think potential is there, just need a steady home and consistant playing time. Rangers never did anything with him bc he was so far down depth chart behind andrus, odor, profar, and hanser.like article said only 25 and cracked top100 multiple times.
If you blink, you will miss him
