The Washington Nationals are set to make pitcher Trevor Rosenthal the first free-agent signing of the baseball offseason. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the two sides are "finalizing a deal."
Rosenthal had spent his first six years in the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals, totaling 121 saves in this stretch. However, he missed the entire 2018 season due to Tommy John surgery.
He had 11 saves in 2017 while producing a 3.40 ERA with 76 strikeouts in 47.2 innings.
