Washington has 10 days to trade, release or send him outright to the minors. Cabrera said on Tuesday that he probably wouldn't accept a demotion.

There have been rumors that the Mets are interested in Nationals first baseman Nick Johnson.
Johnson spent time with the Yankees earlier in his career, and isn't opposed to a return to the Big Apple.
"I can't worry about rumors or any of that stuff, I just have to go play. If it happens, it does; if I'm here, great," Johnson said.
"I don't deal with anything until it happens.... But I enjoyed (New York). Fans are into it, they want to win. It's all about winning and that's what I want to play for, to get that ring on my finger. I definitely had a good time while I was here those three years."

Early indications suggest that Washington will take a cautious approach with Stephen Strasburg, preferring to keep him in the minor leagues.
Even if he does debut in the big leagues, he will not inherit a prominent role, a team source said yesterday.
Strasburg will be used similarly to the one-inning appearance 2007 No. 1 pick Ross Detwiler received months after he was drafted. Such a debut could even be a part of contractual obligations, depending on the demands of Strasburg's adviser, Scott Boras.
