It’s now over a week ago since it was first reported, but the Washington Nationals signing of Anibal Sanchez was certainly an interesting one. There are going to be plenty of question marks around whether the right-hander can maintain his 2018 success moving forward.
Last season with the Atlanta Braves, Sanchez finished with a 7-6 record to go with an impressive 2.83 ERA in 25 appearances. That was a huge change from the previous three seasons where he combined for a 20-30 record and 5.67 ERA.
So that begs the question about what changed to cause the sudden bounceback season.
