According to multiple reports this morning, the Washington Nationals have dipped back into the free agent market now that there is a new CBA and teams can start signing and trading players again.
The first post-lockout move for the club is a one-year deal with 12-year veteran reliever Steve Cishek.
Cishek, 35, spent the 2021 campaign with the Los Angeles Angels, for whom the submarining right-handed put up a 3.42 ERA, a 3.74 FIP, 41 walks, 64 Ks, and a .238/.352/.316 line against in 74 games and 68 1⁄3 innings pitched.
