Nationals’ lefty Enny Romero impresses in WBC, earns win for Dominican Republic

Dusty Baker told reporters last month that he heard hard-throwing left-hander Enny Romero was a target for the Washington Nationals during the negotiations with the Tampa Bay Rays back in February of 2014.

“I heard he was a guy that we had coveted before we got [Felipe] Rivero,” Baker said, referring to the trade that sent Nate Karns to the Rays in return for Rivero, (who was dealt to Pittsburgh last July), catcher Jose Lobaton and minor league outfielder Drew Vettleson.
