2 days agoFree-agent right-hander Lucas Sims officially signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the Nationals placed right-hander Mason Thompson (elbow) on the 60-day injured list to open up room on the 40-man roster. Sims, a former first-round pick by the Atlanta Braves in 2012, is a bit behind the other pitchers in camp but is confident he'll be ready for Opening Day in late March. While Jorge Lopez is considered the favorite for saves in 2025, the Nationals could go with a closer committee, potentially giving Sims a chance to factor into the late innings with his new team. The 30-year-old has a career 26.9% strikeout rate, 4.50 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, 12 saves and a 12.1% walk rate in 306 career major-league innings. Washington is hoping to return Sims to his earlier form, but he's going to need to limit the free passes to secure a trusted high-leverage spot at the back of the bullpen. UPDATE: Sims' one-year deal is worth $3 million.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
