Washington Nationals Sign Left-Handed Reliever  As Late Offseason Addition

As the Washington Nationals gear up for the upcoming spring training, they have secured left-handed relief pitcher Colin Poche on a minor league contract with an invitation to major league camp. Poche, a former Tampa Bay Rays player, debuted in the MLB in 2019 and has shown a solid track record with a career ERA of 3.63 across 225 appearances, striking out 230 batters in over 208 innings.

His addition comes as the Nationals seek to strengthen their left-handed pitching options, having a scarcity in that area. With Konnor Pilkington and Jose A. Ferrer being the only other lefties in the fray, Poche has a significant chance to make an impact this spring if he can maintain his performance levels.

What should I watch for during the Nationals' spring training?Which players could impact the Nationals' fantasy landscape this season?How can the Nationals improve their playoff chances this season?What strategies might the Nationals employ with their new pitchers?

Affordable Free Agent Bullpen Options the Braves Could Explore

Affordable Free Agent Bullpen Options the Braves Could Explore

The Atlanta Braves are facing a significant challenge in their bullpen as right-hander Joe Jiménez is sidelined due to surgery and lefty A.J. Minter is reportedly heading to the New York Mets. Despite signing several pitchers to minor league contracts this offseason, the Braves have yet to make a significant addition to their bullpen. With the offseason clock ticking, they are exploring affordable relief pitcher options for potential Major League contracts.

Colin Poche, a left-handed pitcher formerly with the Tampa Bay Rays, is on the market after posting a 3.86 ERA in 43 appearances in 2024, although he had previously achieved a 2.23 ERA when healthy. Lucas Sims, once a Brave, had a mixed year with the Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox, finishing with a 3.57 ERA but showing promise in September after recovering from injury.

Other candidates include Matt Moore, who had a successful stint before regressing in 2024, and Kyle Finnegan, a 2024 All-Star with the Nationals. The Braves are looking for low-risk, high-reward signings to bolster their bullpen as the new season approaches.

How might the absence of Joe Jiménez impact the Braves' season?What can the Braves expect from a potential reunion with Lucas Sims?How significant is Matt Moore's regression for the Braves' bullpen strategy?Could Kyle Finnegan be the key addition the Braves need to bolster their relief options?
