With our latest 2018 Report Card, we take a look at the Washington Nationals big trade pick-up, Kelvin Herrera. He came over from the Kansas City Royals as a proven late-inning option that seemed set to boost the bullpen. However, he never caught a break in Washington.
The reliever was acquired on June 18th for third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez, outfielder Blake Perkins, and pitcher Yohanse Morel. While only brought in as a rental, the price made sense for someone who had a 1.05 ERA and 14 saves in 27 appearances at the point of the trade.
