Houston Astros: The Nats were on Will Harris’ shortlist of landing spots

One of the better relievers in the Houston Astros rotation, Will Harris has decided to spend the next three seasons in our nation’s capital with the Washington Nationals.

Harris’ deal is reportedly worth three years, $24 million. Harris went 4-1 last season with the Astros, with an outstanding 1.50 ERA, the lead among American League relief pitchers last season.

Since joining the Houston Astros in 2015, Harris has had a 2.36 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and 2.99 FIP.

However, what he will be most remembered for is giving up the Game 7 winning home run to Howie Kendrick that helped propel the Nationals to stun the Houston Astros and win their first-ever World Series title in 2019.
