According to an early morning report on Twitter by The Athletic’s Evan Drellich, Javy Guerra will be back in the Washington Nationals’ organization in 2020, on a minor league deal that will pay the 34-year-old reliever, “... $1 million with another potential $500K in performance bonuses if in [the] majors.”
Guerra was selected off waivers by the Nationals last May, and he put up a 4.86 ERA, a 4.50 FIP, 12 walks, and 42 Ks in 40 games and 53 2⁄3 IP for the World Series champions.
The nine-year veteran was designated for assignment by the Nationals in late July before he was outrighted to Triple-A, and then quickly called back after injuries created a need in the major league bullpen.
