Nationals Sign Former Phillies Outfield Prospect
- Nationals sign former Phillies outfield prospect Leandro Pineda to a minor league deal, adding depth to Washington's system.
- Pineda, 23, posted 32 extra-base hits and 37 RBIs in the minors last season, but has not reached The Show.
- Analysts view the move as a depth signing rather than a roster reshaping headline for Washington.
- Washington previously re-signed Erick Mejia and signed Eddy Yean, signaling ongoing roster and depth adjustments.
- Pineda struggled with the Phillies' Double-A affiliate but is still young with potential to develop.
- The signing is seen as part of reloading the diminished Nationals' minor league system.
- Outfield crowd in Washington remains strong, making it challenging for Pineda to break into The Show.
- Chase Ford of MiLB Central first reported the signing information.
- The move aligns with the team's broader offseason trend of minor league depth additions.
