The Nationals signed Lara to a minor league deal Sunday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.
Lara's inability to keep runners off the bases remained problematic in 2016 and led to a 1.45 WHIP. While his .252 opponent batting average didn't do him any favors, a lack of control only made matters worse and resulted in a 10.5 percent walk rate. Heading into 2017, Lara offers little fantasy value, as he's yet to play in the majors since entering the league in 2008.
