Nationals purchased the contracts of RHP Wilfredo Ledezma, RHP Julian Tavarez and C Josh Bard.
Lezezma had made a strong case for a spot by posting a 1.69 ERA in 10 2/3 innings this spring, but outside of 2006, he's never thrown enough strikes to be a useful major league pitcher. If that changes this year, pitching coach Randy St. Claire will deserve an awful lot of credit.
