The Washington Nationals acquired Trevor Gott in the Yunel Escobar trade after the 2015 season, and he was seen as a long-term contributor in the bullpen. A little over a year after the trade, Gott has yet to make a significant impact in the majors, but it’s time for that to change.
After getting off to a slow start in AAA, Gott has turned things around and has quickly become one of Syracuse’s most reliable relievers. Seven of his last ten appearances have come in the eighth inning, and he has done an outstanding job as Joe Nathan‘s setup man.
