Washington Nationals add Tony Sipp to the bullpen mix...

Davey Martinez talked a few weeks back about the right-handers in his bullpen doing well against left-handed hitters when he was asked about the need for a left-handed specialist.

“I would want everybody to be more versatile,” the second-year manager said.

“You talk about all these reverse split guys, but I would like guys to be able to get both hitters out. [Wander] Suero is another guy that obviously has pretty good success doing that as well, but we’ve got a lot of guys like that, with Trevor [Rosenthal] and [Kyle] Barraclough when he’s on and he’s healthy.
