Nationals Sign Trevor Williams
The Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Trevor Williams to a two-year deal on Friday, according to a source. The deal is reportedly worth $13 million. The 30-year-old bounced around between the starting rotation and the bullpen for the New York Mets last year as a swingman, posting a solid 3.21 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 89 2/3 innings pitched. In Washington, he could end up being the No. 5 starter or a long reliever. A lot will depend on the health of right-handed starter Stephen Strasburg (ribs), but Williams will give the team some valuable pitching depth. In his seven-year big-league career, Williams has posted a 4.27 ERA (4.40 FIP), a 1.34 WHIP, one save and a 19.2 percent strikeout rate in 715 1/3 innings over 159 outings (118 starts).
