WASHINGTON – The state of the Nationals’ bullpen has been a topic of concern for years, even in the World Series season of 2019.
Many veteran relievers have been summoned to the bullpen in Washington, only to see disappointment lurking out behind the right-field fence at home games.
It was 10 years ago today – on Jan. 26, 2012 – that the Nationals announced the signing of Brad Lidge, who had saved 41 games for the Phillies en route to an All-Star season and World Series title for Philadelphia in 2008.
