"Treinen, 37, had a tough year, with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.84 WHIP in 32 games and 26.2 IP. He also missed time with a forearm injury and became the first pitcher in over 100 years to take five losses in five straight games. Still, he was a trusted late-inning option in October and came through in NLCS Game 1, earning the save by stranding the bases loaded. His ERA this postseason stands at 7.36, but he's gotten outs when the Dodgers needed them."
"Treinen pitched in 185 games for the Nationals from 2014 to 2017, posting a 3.39 ERA with 190 strikeouts across 223 innings. He also pitched in the 2016 postseason for Washington before being traded to Oakland in 2017 as part of the deal that brought Sean Doolittle to D.C. Treinen became an All-Star the very next season with the A's."
The Nationals finished 66-96, firing manager Davey Martinez and president Mike Rizzo midseason. Paul Toboni became president of baseball operations and hired Devin Pearson as his first major addition. The team remains without a manager and focuses on offseason changes. Four former Nationals played in October, with three reaching the World Series. Blake Treinen and Alex Call joined the Los Angeles Dodgers, giving them the clearest path to a ring. Treinen endured a difficult regular season but provided key late-inning outs in October. Treinen previously pitched for Washington (2014–2017) and has established a strong reliever career with multiple rings.
