										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Nationals announced that left-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=cronin001mat,cronin000mat&amp;search=Matt+Cronin&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-10_br" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Matt Cronin</a></strong> and outfielder <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=delaro000jer&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-10_br" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jeremy De La Rosa</a></strong> have each cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester. Cronin was designated for assignment earlier this week but De La Rosa wasn&#8217;t publicly known to be on waivers. This move drops the 40-man roster count to 39.</p>
<p>De La Rosa, 22 in January, was added to the club&#8217;s roster just under a year ago. He got that roster spot after mashing his way through 69 Single-A games in 2022, hitting 10 home runs and producing a batting line of .315/.394/.505 while also stealing 26 bases. A move up to High-A didn&#8217;t go so well, but the club nonetheless didn&#8217;t want to risk losing him in last year&#8217;s Rule 5 draft and put him on the 40-man.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, 2023 didn&#8217;t go nearly as well for him. He got into 93 games at High-A but only went deep seven times and struck out at a 33.7% clip, finishing with a line of .240/.324/.361. After those struggles, it seems the Nats bumped him off the roster and none of the other 29 clubs decided to grab him. He&#8217;ll stick in the Nationals&#8217; organization but without occupying a spot on the 40-man.</p>
<p>Cronin, 26, got his roster spot at the same time as De La Rosa, protecting him from last year&#8217;s Rule 5 draft. He got that spot on the heels of a strong 2022 season, posting a 2.42 earned run average between Double-A and Triple-A. But this year, he made 14 Triple-A appearances with a 5.02 ERA before he underwent surgery for a herniated disc in his back. “For those that don’t know, I had been dealing with pain in my left shoulder/arm for the last 2 years but could never seem to find anything wrong with them,&#8221; Cronin said in an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvc6HJOLvGJ/?hl=en">Instagram</a> post in August. &#8220;That was up until about a month ago when we decided to have my spine checked out and found a large herniated disc at my C5-C6 level.”</p>
<p>Like De La Rosa, Cronin will stay in the organization but without taking up a roster spot. The current status of his back isn&#8217;t publicly known but he will presumably be working to return to the roster as soon as he&#8217;s able to.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>3:07pm</strong>: In addition to the moves below, the Nats added left-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=ferrer006jos,ferrer005jos&amp;search=Jose+Ferrer&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jose Ferrer</a></strong> and right-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=irvin-000jak&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jake Irvin</a></strong>. To create roster space, they designated right-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/romerto01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tommy Romero</a></strong> for assignment while outfielder <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hernaya01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Yadiel Hernandez</a></strong>, lefty <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/leeev01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Evan Lee</a></strong> and righty <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tetreja01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jackson Tetreault</a></strong> cleared outright waivers and were assigned to Triple-A Rochester. Additionally, the club avoided arbitration with infielder <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/vargail01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ildemaro Vargas</a></strong> by agreeing to a one-year deal. Vargas will make $975K, reports Andrew Golden of the Washington Post (<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/andrewcgolden/status/1593067884984823808">Twitter link</a>). That&#8217;s a touch below his $1.1MM arbitration projection.</p>
<p><strong>3:00pm</strong>: Talk Nats <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/TalkNats/status/1592622473501372416">adds</a> that Alu has indeed been added. 26 in April, Alu is an infielder who had a great year at the plate. Between Double-A and Triple-A, he hit .299/.365/.506 for a wRC+ of 132.</p>
<p><strong>11:57am</strong>: The deadline for MLB teams to add players to their 40-man roster in order to protect them from selection in the Rule 5 draft is tonight at 5pm Central. The Nationals are set to add at least three players, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/TalkNats/status/1592562384908189697">Talk Nats</a>. They are right-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=rutled003jac,rutled002jac&amp;search=Jackson+Rutledge&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jackson Rutledge</a></strong>, left-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=cronin001mat,cronin000mat&amp;search=Matt+Cronin&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Matt Cronin</a></strong> and outfielder <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=delaro000jer&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jeremy De La Rosa</a></strong>. It&#8217;s possible more moves are still coming, with Talk Nats identifying <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=alu---000jak&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jake Alu</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=ferrer006jos,ferrer005jos&amp;search=Jose+Ferrer&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jose Ferrer</a></strong> as possibilities.</p>
<p>Rutledge, 24 in April, was the club&#8217;s first round selection in 2019, going 17th overall. He got some work in affiliated ball after that draft but then saw the minor leagues get wiped out by the pandemic in 2020. Shoulder tightness and recurring blisters then limited his workload and effectiveness in 2021. He got things back on track somewhat here in 2022 by making 20 starts, but they were in Single-A and he only posted a 4.90 ERA. His peripherals were much stronger though, with a high BABIP and low strand rate likely pushing his ERA higher than deserved, as indicated by his 3.89 FIP and 3.93 xFIP.</p>
<p>He has yet to reach Double-A and is still likely not close to making his major league debut. Still, based on his previous prospect stock and ability to hit triple-digits with his heater, the Nats have decided they don&#8217;t want to risk losing him in next month&#8217;s draft. With the big league club mired in rebuild mode anyway, there&#8217;s little harm in dedicating a roster spot to someone who is unlikely to contribute in 2023 if the club thinks he can provide future value some day. He&#8217;s currently ranked the club&#8217;s #9 prospect at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.baseballamerica.com/teams/1012/washington-nationals/organizational/">Baseball America</a> and #10 at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2022-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&amp;team=wsn">FanGraphs</a>.</p>
<p>Cronin, 25, was a fourth round pick in that same 2019 draft. He&#8217;s worked exclusively as a reliever since then, working his way up the minor league ladder. In 2022, he split his time between Double-A and Triple-A, throwing 52 combined innings. In that time, he posted a 2.42 ERA with a 26.9% strikeout rate and 10.6% walk rate. He&#8217;ll give the club a left-handed relief option that can potentially be optioned between the majors and minors for the next few years. He&#8217;s 17th on the BA list and 30th at FanGraphs.</p>
<p>De La Rosa, 21 in January, was signed as an international free agent in 2018. He started 2022 in Single-A and completely mashed, producing a batting line of .315/.394/.505 with 26 steals. A midseason promotion to High-A didn&#8217;t produce immediate results, as he hit just .195/.273/.271, though he did swipe another 13 bags. In the field, he played primarily in center field and could have a decent floor with his speed and defense. BA slots him in at #10 on their list while FanGraphs has him at #8.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>9:45am:</strong> The Nats are adding Sharp and outfield prospect <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=delaro000jer&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jeremy De La Rosa</a></strong> to their 60-man player pool, Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post reports (<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/dougherty_jesse/status/1299356987105439744">via Twitter</a>). Both will head to the team&#8217;s alternate training site in Fredricksburg. De La Rosa, 18, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/nationals/">ranks 15th</a> among Nats farmhands at MLB.com and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2020-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&amp;team=wsn">at FanGraphs</a>. He&#8217;ll be able to get some developmental reps with the club&#8217;s staff now, although being added to the 60-man pool also makes him eligible to be directly included in a trade to another club (as opposed to being shipped off as a PTBNL).</p>
<p><strong>8:50am:</strong> The Marlins have returned right-hander <strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sharpst01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sterling Sharp</a></strong>, their pick in last year&#8217;s Rule 5 Draft, to the Nationals, per a team announcement from the Nats. Miami designated Sharp for assignment earlier this week, and the fact that he was returned indicates he went unclaimed on outright waivers.</p>
<p>Sharp, 25, appeared in four games with the Fish but struggled in his final two outings. Overall, he was tagged for seven runs (six earned) on seven hits, five walks and a hit batter with three strikeouts in 5 1/3 frames. Sharp&#8217;s heavy sinker helped him keep the ball on the ground at a 65 percent clip in his brief time with the Marlins. However, the Marlins were forced to make a broad-reaching series of moves in the wake of their team-wide Covid-19 outbreak, one of which was to designate Sharp for assignment. It&#8217;s eminently possible that this outcome would&#8217;ve occurred eventually anyhow, particularly in light of his struggles.</p>
<p>Regardless, Sharp now returns to the Nats and gives them a relatively near-term option for their pitching staff. He&#8217;s not on the 40-man roster but could emerge as a candidate for a big league call up before long. Sharp logged 49 2/3 frames in Double-A last year, pitching to a 3.99 ERA and 2.59 FIP with 8.2 K/9, 2.5 BB/9, 0.18 HR/9 and a whopping 63.3 percent ground-ball rate.</p>
