We checked in with Nationals’ director of player development, Mark Scialabba, to find out the contract status of most of the Senators for the 2015 season.

Here’s the list of the impending Nationals’ minor league free agents that have come through Harrisburg during the last couple of years:

Mitch Canham
Paul Demny
Cutter Dykstra *** signed a one-year deal with Nationals for 2015
Paolo Espino
Tyler Herron
Destin Hood
Jeff Howell
Brian Jeroloman
Josh Johnson
Zach Kroenke
Quincy Latimore
Jose Lozada
Scott McGregor
Omar Poveda
Sam Runion
Adrian Sanchez
James Simmons
Oscar Tejada

These players are free to re-sign with the Nationals (like Jeroloman did last season), ink a deal elsewhere (like Caleb Clay), or go the unaffiliated route (like Brian Broderick).

Keep in mind that just because a player is under contract for additional seasons does not guarantee their return to the Nationals. They could still get released, traded or choose to retire.
