Noah Dean Lands New Deal with Nationals

0:00It's March 31st. Welcome in. This is Boston Red Sox News today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Noah Dean, that 25-year-old lefty pitching prospect, got released by the Boston Red Sox back on March 19th, but he's already landing on. His feet with a new minor lead deal from the Washington Nationals. This move brings him back together with Paul Taboni, the guy who used to run things in Boston's front office and just took over as Washington's. General manager, last October, Dean showed some promise last season, tossing a scoreless inning for Boston's double A squad in Portland, though his time in class A Greenville was, rougher with a 5.68 ERA over 63 innings. Fans and scouts remember him as the fifth round pick out of Old Dominion back in 2022. A guy with strikeout stuff, 81 K's, but command issues that led to too many walks. Now he's getting a fresh shot in DC, rebuilding that career trajectory, without missing much beat, and we'll keep watching how he develops from here.
