Nationals' Aaron Barrett: Placed on waivers
Barrett was placed on outright waivers this week, The Washington Post reports.
Analysis:
This doesn't necessarily mean his tenure with the Nationals is over, but after two elbow surgeries in 12 months the team was unwilling to use a 40-man roster spot on the reliever, much less pony up for him in arbitration. Barrett isn't expected to be ready to pitch again until at least midseason 2017.
