He slashed .376/.452/.647 with 19 home runs in 75 games split between Piratas de Campeche and Diablos Rojos del Mexico.

The Nationals released Diaz on Tuesday. The Nationals sent Diaz to minor-league camp earlier this spring, but the 27-year-old will now look for another opportunity elsewhere in free agency. He slashed .192/.222/.385 across 27 plate appearances during spring training and should be able to secure another minor-league deal.

Diaz signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. The Nationals look like they might be going the quantity over quality route in attempting to address first base, first adding Juan Yepez and now Diaz as non-roster invitees. Diaz posted an .804 OPS with 17 homers over 118 games for the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk but didn't see any time in the majors. He'll get a shot this spring to win an Opening Day roster spot.

Diaz elected to become a free agent Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. Diaz is a career .181/.227/.340 hitter in 343 plate appearances at the MLB level, but he posted a decent .804 OPS with 17 homers and 64 RBI over 118 games this past season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Orioles. The 26-year-old first baseman should be able to find a new organization this winter.
