Cory Abbott: Pushed to open market

Abbott was non-tendered by Washington on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Abbott heads into free agency with a career 6.02 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 97:55 K:BB through 140.2 total major-league innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.
