The Washington Nationals are contemplating a reunion with free agent reliever Aaron Barrett.
SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo reports the two sides are talking about bringing the 28-year-old righty back to Washington following a rash of injuries. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2015, he fractured his elbow last summer and needed another operation. He has yet to pitch professionally since undergoing TJ.
A closer-in-training in the minors, Barrett pitched for the Nats for two seasons. Before those injuries shut him down, he made the postseason roster after a strong 2014 campaign and pitched in 40 games in 2015.
