Franklin Barreto Signs With Nationals
The Washington Nationals signed infielder Franklin Barreto to a minor-league deal on Thursday. Barreto last played in the big leagues in the shortened 2020 season with the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels, but he'll have a decent shot to make it back in 2023 with the rebuilding Nationals. He signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros in 2022 and played in 73 games for Triple-A Sugar Land, hitting just .162/.259/.274 with six home runs, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 274 plate appearances on the farm. The 26-year-old will be competing for an MLB roster spot in spring training next year in D.C.
