The Nationals announced that infielder/outfielder Travis Blankenhorn elected free agency following last week's DFA, having been outrighted multiple times earlier in his career.
Despite limited MLB appearances totaling just 100 plate trips, Blankenhorn has demonstrated notable power in the minors, hitting 23 home runs in Triple-A last year.
While Blankenhorn's major league performance has faltered, with a .154/.230/.264 slash line, his Triple-A power numbers could attract interest from foreign leagues.
Fanned in 26% of his plate appearances this year, Blankenhorn's struggles at the plate continue despite his potential, indicating a need for more consistent contact.
