With starters on the roster including NL Cy Young Award finalist Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Roark, Joe Ross and Gio Gonzalez, and starting depth that includes Reynaldo Lopez, Lucas Giolito, A.J. Cole and Austin Voth, GM Mike Rizzo told reporters including Washington Post writer Jorge Castillo at the GM Meetings last week, that he was happy with the available options the Washington Nationals have, though he said that as always, you “... never stop looking for starting pitching.”
“We feel fortunate in the depth we have in pitching at the big league level and prospect wise,” Rizzo said, as quoted in the WaPost, adding that other teams he discusses pitching with say that they would love to have the Nats’ options.
