"Throughout the majority of this offseason, the front office of the Washington Nationals has been busy. While I don't think you would find a Nationals fan out there that isn't frustrated with the team's lack of aggression on the free agent front heading into spring training, the club will certainly still look a lot different than the last time we saw this team take the field."
"So what exactly are the Nationals getting in Granillo? The 25-year-old broke into the majors last season with St. Louis after being drafted by the organization in the 14th round back in 2021. He appeared in 14 games and pitched to a 4.71 ERA and 1.381 WHIP in 21.0 innings. He had a modest 18:7 K:BB ratio and even saved a game as well."
The Washington Nationals pursued a busy offseason focused on converting the franchise into a player development machine while making smaller trades and waiver moves. Fan frustration with limited free-agent aggression exists despite a clear organizational direction toward developing internal talent. Washington claimed George Soriano from Miami and later traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals for righty reliever Andre Granillo. Granillo, 25, debuted in the majors after being drafted in the 14th round in 2021 and posted a 4.71 ERA and 1.381 WHIP across 21.0 innings with an 18:7 K:BB. He has 31 minor-league saves and profiles with a four-pitch mix that includes a fastball, sinker, and changeup.
