From the Daily News Now Network, this is Washington Nationals News Today. Subscribe to keep up with every headline, every game. The Washington Nationals just signed right-handed starters, Zach Letel, to a one-year deal worth $7 million, but they had to clear space on. Their 40-man roster first, to make room, they designated left-hander reliever Richard Love Lady for assignment on Tuesday. The 30-year-old veteran has bounced around clubs like the Royals, Blue Jays, and Metz, but his career ERA sits at $5.35 over-limited, big league innings. Love Lady Struggle last year, too, giving up 11 earned runs in just 11.2 innings across 10 outings. Fans might see this as a tough, but necessary move for a team building its rotation. Littlebrings solid experience, posting a 381 ERA last season split between the raise and reds, with plenty of starts under his belt. At 30 years old, he adds depth to a group mixing vets and prospects.
Meanwhile, he slots into a projected lineup with Miles Mika Las, Cade Cavali, Brad Lorde, Foster Griffin, and Jake Irvin. If the gnats fade by the trade deadline, Letel could be shopped for prospects.
