With the announcement Jim Hickey has been hired as pitching coach, could Jake Odorizzi be lured to the Washington Nationals in free agency?

On the surface some might ask why the Washington Nationals would want Jake Odorizzi. He is coming off an injury plagued year where he was paid $17.8M. These are not encouraging reasons to sign him as he enters free agency.
