]]> It has been no mystery to anyone in baseball over the past 12 months that the Washington Nationals have been looking for a centerfielder. They have options on their squad but want a more prototypical centerfielder/leadoff man to spark their offense. Last season, they inquired about Michael Bourn, one of the best in baseball, but couldn’t close the deal and he would go to Atlanta. This season it appears they have noticed another Astro that could be on the trade block in Jason Bourgeois.

]]> Jim Bowden of ESPN has tweeted this evening that the Washington Nationals are chasing Wandy Rodriguez. They are also looking at free agent pitchers Roy Oswalt, CJ Wilson and Mark Buehrle along with center fielders BJ Upton and Denard Span. The Nationals have seemed like a likely landing spot ever since this summer with their desire for quality SP depth and to spend money in an effort to compete for the NL East crown. Considering the free agent pitchers they are linked to all want to stay in a certain region of the country while playing for an immediate contender as prerequisites, Washington may still be a likely landing spot for Wandy.
