The Nationals are showing interest in Reds closer Raisel Iglesias, sources told MLB.com on Thursday, as the team tries to address its season-long issues in the late innings.
Iglesias, 27, has converted 15 of 16 save opportunities this season, and he has a 1.59 ERA. He's under contract though 2020 at reasonable salaries, enhancing his appeal to a Washington team that seeks a long-term answer at closer.
The Nationals' 14 blown saves this season are among the most in the Major Leagues. Koda Glover and Shawn Kelley, who closed for the Nats earlier this season, are both on the disabled list.
