Carp agreed to a minor league deal with the Nationals that includes an invite to spring training, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.
Carp posted a .296/.362/.523 slash line over 216 at-bats for the Red Sox in 2013, but he struggled with both Boston and Texas last season, finishing with a combined .175/.289/.230 line in 126 at-bats. He's capable of playing both first base and outfield, but his range in the outfield is pretty shaky, and he may face an uphill battle to break camp with the big league club.
