Nationals Trade Eder, Add Mead; Dodgers Visit

Washington Nationals Front Office Makes Roster Moves: Eder Traded, Mead Acquired, Mervis Sent Down

The Washington Nationals, after a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, made several roster adjustments. They traded lefty Jake Eder to the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash, designating him for assignment earlier in the week. Eder had been shuttling between Double A and Triple A since joining last July.

In a move to bolster their infield depth, the Nationals acquired infielder Curtis Mead from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for catcher Boston Smith. Mead, who had exhausted his minor league options, joins the team.

The Nationals also parted ways with Matt Mervis, who struggled in spring training with just two hits in twelve at-bats. He will now return to the minors to work on his game.

The Nationals will face the Dodgers in a three-game series starting Friday, following an off-day on Thursday. They aim to build momentum for their home opener against the defending champions at 1:05 PM.
