Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports that the Washington Nationals are interested in former Kansas City Royals first baseman Mike Jacobs.

“The Nationals were one of the first clubs I talked about with my agent,” Jacobs said. “I feel I would be a good fit in that lineup, especially with what they already have there. It’s a pretty good lineup. It’s a place that I would love to go.”

It’s not clear how Jacobs would fit in with the Nationals since the first baseman depth chart includes Adam Dunn and Mike Morse. Jacobs was asked if he would take a backup roll, he said, “At this point, I’m not sure. Coming off a down year, you obviously [have] to prove yourself again.”

The left-handed hitting Jacobs, 29, hit .228 with 19 home runs and 61 RBIs while making $3.25 million with the Royals last year. In 2008 with the Florida Marlins, Jacobs hit 32 home runs and had 93 RBIs. You can see Jacob’s contract history and statistics here.
