Heyman says the Nats are a finalist for Neslon Cruz.

Officially a one-year deal per Rosenthal. https://twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/status/1503200280518737923?s=21
Are the Nationals trying this season?I don’t mean that sarcastically. I have no idea if they’re going for it or not. Cruz says yes. Many other things don’t.
Fantastic trade bait this season.Please go find a reliever
The Washington Nationals made their biggest move of the offseason Sunday night, agreeing with Nelson Cruz on a one-year deal worth $15 million guaranteed, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The contract will not be official until all details are worked out and Cruz passes a physical. ...For Soto in particular, Cruz, an all-star in 2021, could provide right-handed protection and an important voice. Cruz has been a respected clubhouse leader in stops with the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers. Soto, the Nationals’ 23-year-old star, was called the face of the team and franchise by Rizzo on Sunday.As the negotiations grew more serious, a person close to Soto said the right fielder was “thrilled” about potentially sharing a lineup with Cruz. And keeping Soto happy, now and into the next year three years, is a crucial part of Washington’s rebuild.
This says first year is $12 million. Mutual option for second year at $16 million with $3 million buyout. He did slump end of last season but seems a good risk. https://www.mlb.com/news/nelson-cruz-nationals-deal.html
Trade bait I suppose. Maybe we catch fire and ride it to a wildcard spot with a little luck in the pitching department. 🤷♂️
