The Washington Nationals finally broke their silence in the trade market with around two hours until today’s MLB trade deadline by adding a trio of relievers.
First, news broke that the Nationals had acquired Daniel Hudson from the Toronto Blue Jays, per Scott Mitchell of TSN. Then within a matter of minutes, the Nats agreed to a deal for Roenis Elías from the Seattle Mariners, first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
But Mike Rizzo wasn’t done there. Things suddenly got very weird as he finished off his work on the bullpen with the addition of former-nemesis, Hunter Strickland, also from the Mariners, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.
