While it is not the closer fans have been asking for, Mike Rizzo brought in some bullpen help in the form of left hander Colin Poche. The Nats signed Poche to a Minor League deal with a Spring Training invite. However, I believe that the 31 year old will make the team and become a mainstay in the Nationals bullpen.
Poche has been a reliable reliever in Tampa Bay over the last three seasons. In 174 appearances from 2022-2024, the southpaw posted a 3.27 ERA. However, the Rays decided to non-tender him after an up and down 2024 season.
