Nationals' Brandon Snyder: Inks minor-league deal with Nats
Brandon Snyder re-signed Thursday with the Washington Nationals on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.Snyder had been included in the Nationals' 60-man player pool for the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, but he remained at Washington's alternate training site all season without receiving a call up. Though he'll get the chance to compete for a bench role with the big club in spring training, Snyder is more realistically headed for Triple-A Fresno to begin the 2021 season.

Nationals' Brandon Snyder: Joins Nationals
Brandon Snyder signed a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training with the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.Snyder had a brief stint in the majors with the Rays last season, but has otherwise seen minimal MLB action since 2013. The 32-year-old did manage a .907 OPS over 47 plate appearances with the Braves in 2016, but 10 of his 11 hits went for extra bases, which was clearly unsustainable. Snyder otherwise has a career .240/.276/.455 slash line in the majors and will most likely serve as organizational depth for Washington's infield.

Rays' Brandon Snyder: Designated for assignment
Brandon R. Snyder was designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.Snyder was up for all of three days before being removed from the roster in order to make room for Brad Miller, who returns from a stay on the disabled list due to a groin injury. Snyder doesn't have a profile that makes him particularly likely to be claimed, as he's a 31-year-old with just 211 career plate appearances and a .276 on-base percentage, so he has a good chance of returning to the Rays' organization as minor-league depth.

Rays' Brandon Snyder: Called up to majors
Brandon R. Snyder was called up Tuesday to replace the injured Matt Duffy (hamstring), Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.Duffy will be out at least 10 days with a hamstring strain, though early indications are that his recovery time will be short, so Snyder may not be up for long. The 31-year-old has played all four corner positions in his major-league career, but he's appeared in the big leagues in just one of the last four seasons. He has a bit of pop (.459 career slugging percentage) but his .279 career on-base percentage makes him a pretty classic Quad-A player. Don't expect much in his limited time with the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rays' Brandon Snyder: Gunning for final reserve OF spot
Brandon R. Snyder is competing for the final reserve outfield spot on the Tampa Bay Rays' active roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.The 31-year-old's main competition in this position battle is Jason Coats, but Micah Johnson is also in the mix to an extent. Manager Kevin Cash expressed a desire to have another right-handed bat in the outfield mix, making Snyder an attractive candidate in that sense. His spring stats also make a good case for him (6-for-21, two extra-base hits). He wouldn't garner much playing time as the roster is constructed now, but Snyder still seems to be in a good place as the regular season nears.
