Second baseman Danny Espinosa has been targeted by at least a dozen teams, but the Nationals are not eager to trade him despite his disappointing 2013 season, according to MLB.com.

Anthony Rendon is ahead of Espinosa in the battle for the starting spot, but the latter will compete for it in training camp. Rendon ran with his opportunity upon the demotion of Espinosa a year ago, batting .265 with 35 RBI in 98 games while playing solid defense.

Espinosa played most of the season at Triple-A Syracuse and fanned 148 times in 471 at-bats at both levels combined. Espinosa must make more consistent contact this spring to have any chance at earning the starting job.
