Ken Rosenthal has learned that Alfonso Soriano was placed on waivers Tuesday by the Washington Nationals. Placing players on waivers is rather routine, but raises the question of whether the team is making one last attempt to trade Soriano before he becomes a free agent. It is doubtful that Soriano will be traded; he is unlikely to clear waivers, and any team that claimed him almost certainly would exert its leverage on the Nationals in an effort to make a one-sided deal. |
