The Washington Nationals spent Wednesday bolstering their bullpen ahead of the 2019 MLB trade deadline.
In a pair of transactions, Washington acquired right-handerDaniel Hudson from the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Roenis Elias and right-hander Hunter Strickland from the Seattle Mariners. As a result, here is a look at how the Nationals' bullpen stacks up prior to any corresponding roster moves:
- RHP Michael Blazek
- LHP Sean Doolittle (closer)
- LHP Roenis Elias
- LHP Matt Grace
- RHP Daniel Hudson
- RHP Javy Guerra
- RHP Tanner Rainey
- RHP Fernando Rodney
- LHP Tony Sipp
- RHP Hunter Strickland
- RHP Wander Suero
Three players from that list will have to go in order to make room for the trio of Hudson, Elias and Strickland.
