Nationals make minor trade

The Washington Nationals traded minor league infielder Alejandro Machado to the Boston Red Sox on Feb. 15 in exchange for a player to be named later, according to Nationals' general manager Jim Bowden.

Machado, 22, combined to hit .306 with 15 doubles, six triples, five home runs, 45 RBI and 30 stolen bases for Harrisburg (93 games) and Single-A Brevard County (46 games) last season. He is a .291 career hitter in six minor league seasons. Machado was originally signed by the Atlanta Braves and also played in the Kansas City Royals organization.

    Not a huge deal, obviously, but it hurts the Nationals' already-lacking infield depth, especially at shortstop. Here's hoping they don't get an outfielder back in return!
