After losing out on Greg Holland to the Colorado Rockies, the Washington Nationals are still looking for help in the bullpen. If they decide to stay internally with the closer spot, they will need to add another middle reliever. We’ve looked at many options, but one under-the-radar name is right-hander Fernando Salas.
Salas spent the 2016 season with the Los Angeles Angels and the New York Mets. The 31-year-old had a 4.47 ERA in his first 58 appearances of the year in Los Angeles. Then, on August 31, the Angels traded him to the Mets at the waiver deadline for pitching prospect Erik Manoah.
