Nationals acquired INF Brandon Laird from the Royals in exchange for a player to be named later or cash. The 26-year-old appeared in 25 games with the Astros in 2013, slashing a meager .169/.224/.423 with five homers, 11 RBI and an astounding 26/3 K/BB ratio in 71 at-bats. He'll provide organizational depth for the Nationals, but is a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.
