Nationals' Michael Almanzar: Re-signs with Nationals
Rotowire
Almanzar agreed to a minor-league deal with Washington on Wednesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
Almanzar finished up the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Syracuse within the Nationals' system, and that is likely where he will begin the 2018 season. The 27-year-old has yet to play in a major-league contest, and is unlikely to do so next year on a stacked Washington roster.

Almanzar signed a minor league contract with the Tigers on Tuesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
The 26-year-old, who has never appeared in the majors, batted .241/.297/.380 with 10 home runs and 41 RBI across 410 at-bats with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate last season. Although he has shown improvement across the board, Almanzar will likely stay in Triple-A another year.
