Nationals Request Release Waivers On Nick Senzel
5 months agoThe Washington Nationals have requested unconditional release waivers on third baseman Nick Senzel on Friday after designating him for assignment last weekend. Senzel has been a first-round bust, first with the Cincinnati Reds for five years, and now in D.C. He played in only 64 games for Washington in 2024 before being cut, hitting just .209 (43-for-206) with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 25 runs scored and 53 strikeouts in 235 plate appearances. Injuries stifled his development early in his career with Cincinnati, and he carries a career slash line of .235/.302/.368 with a .670 OPS, 40 home runs, 143 RBI and 33 stolen bases in 441 games. Another organization will probably take a flier on Senzel, but it will likely be on a minor-league deal, and he'll have to earn a trip back to the big leagues in another city this year.
