Nats add another option at first, signing Lewin Díaz to minor league deal
The Washington Nationals signed first baseman Lewin Díaz to a minor league contract Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The deal includes an invite to spring training.
Díaz, 27, spent last season with the Baltimore Orioles’ Class AAA affiliate, ending the year with a .268 batting average and an .804 OPS in 118 games. Before last year, he spent parts of three seasons with the Miami Marlins organization, bouncing between the majors and Class AAA. He has appeared in 112 MLB games and holds a career .181 batting average at the major league level.
