Will Ohman cut by Nationals during spring training game

Will Ohman cut by Nationals during spring training game, Professional baseball (and sports in general) can be a rough business.

We’re sure a 10-year veteran like Will Ohman already knew that long before taking the mound in Sunday’s Grapefruit League game against the St. Louis Cardinals. But just in case he needed a reminder, he got one right after struggling through a two-hit, two-walk sixth inning appearance.....sports.yahoo.

The Nationals decided to include the left-handed reliever in their first round of cuts (he’ll be reassigned to minor league camp), which is a tough enough pill for a guy in his position to swallow, but there's a reason this reassignment might sting a little more than most.

The decision on Ohman was made quickly. So quickly, in fact, manager Davey Johnson didn’t bother waiting for the game to end before informing him of their plans.
