The first year of the 2-year/$11M deal Daniel Hudson signed with the Washington Nationals after helping the club win the World Series in 2019 didn’t go as the veteran reliever hoped that it would, even though he said before the season and has reiterated since that he took all the results from 2020 with a grain of salt.
The 33-year-old, 11-year vet posted a 6.10 ERA, 6.29 FIP, 11 walks (4.79 BB/9), 28 Ks (12.19 K/9), and a .195/.319/.468 line against in 21 games and 20 2⁄3 innings pitched in MLB’s 60-game COVID campaign, with 10 saves in 15 opportunities on the season.
