Nationals DC Pasttime

WASHINGTON - The Washington Nationals completed their first major offseason move when the Alfonso Soriano trade became official Tuesday. The next challenge is figuring out where he’s going to play.

The Nationals obtained the four-time All-Star second baseman from Texas for outfielders Brad Wilkerson and Terrmel Sledge and minor league pitcher Armando Galarraga. The teams agreed to the deal last week during baseball’s winter meetings in Dallas.

Washington already has an All-Star second baseman, Jose Vidro, and Soriano has resisted previous attempts to move to the outfield.
