Asdrubal Cabrera Signs With Nationals

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Nationals have signed Asdrubal Cabrera.

Mike Puma of the NY Post reported this afternoon that the Mets were “more open” to a reunion with Cabrera after Robinson Cano’s injury, but the veteran infielder is now heading to the Mets’ division rival.

Cabrera, 33, was released by the Rangers after batting .235/.318/.393 with 12 homeruns and 51 RBI in 93 games.

During his three seasons with the Mets, Cabrera slashed .279/.339/.464 with an .803 OPS and 117 OPS+. The Mets traded the Cabrera to the Phillies in 2018, where he batted .228/.286/.392 in 49 games.
