Nationals' Nate Freiman: Traded to Nationals

The Nationals acquired Freiman from the Braves in exchange for Tyler Moore on Sunday.

After combining for 277 at-bats with the Athletics in 2013 and 2014, Freiman contended with a back injury early on last season and never made a major league appearance, eventually losing his spot on the 40-man roster on July 2. One week after his release in December, he landed a deal with the Braves, yet his spring was again underwhelming, as he posted a .120/.267/.240 line in 25 at-bats. Expect the first baseman to act as organizational depth to start this season.
