NonTender Free Agents

The Nationals will non-tender both Erick Fedde and Luke Voit.

I'm not surprised about Fedde, but I am about Luke Voit. [Read More here]

Fedde's pitching inconsistencies have plagued him throughout his 11-year Nats' career. He rarely pitches beyond four innings (5.41ERA), gives up too many (78) homeruns, and has a losing record. At times he looked like a deer in headlights.

Maybe Fedde can resurrect his career with another team.

I'm surprised and disappointed that Luke Voit will be non-tendered. He and Joey Menenses, since the trade deadline, have been the Nats' best hitters. Voit had more home runs than Juan Soto. When he was with the Yankees, he hit 30+ home runs and was chosen for the AL All-Star game.

Since he became a National Voit has continued to hit home runs, hit to all fields, and was a decent outfielder. He proved his versatility by learning to play 1st base.

He could bat anywhere from the #2 to #5 spot in the lineup and would be difficult to pitch to in any of them

Voit would be a good starter, a platoon player, or DH.

He appeared to be a natural dugout leader. He's 30ish, not a rookie, and knows how to be a coach-like mentor to the younger players.

Maybe he and Mike Rizzo have already talked about signing a new contract.

If/when Rizzo doesn't acquire a player with lower salary requirements.

Voit is a predictable player with a known pedigree and should be signed to play for the Nats.
