If you look at the Washington Nationals 40-man roster, it lacks a lot of depth in terms of left-handed relievers. With the addition of Enny Romero this offseason, the Nats have four lefty relievers on the 40-man.
It would be tough for a non-roster invitee to make the Opening Day bullpen, but one name to keep an eye on isNeal Cotts. Cotts picked up the win yesterday against the Houston Astros thanks to Andrew Stevenson’s walk-off single.
In the first five outings that he has made this spring, the 36-year-old has given up three hits, has four strikeouts, and has walked one.
