Erasmo Ramirez Re-Signs With Nationals
2 years agoThe Washington Nationals re-signed right-hander Erasmo Ramirez to a one-year deal on Thursday that can reach up to $2 million with incentives. Ramirez will return to D.C. after posting a strong 2.92 ERA (4.05 FIP), a 1.08 WHIP, 61 strikeouts and 14 walks in 86 1/3 innings over 60 appearances (two starts). There's a chance that Ramirez is a candidate to make some starts for Washington next year, but it's more likely that the 32-year-old veteran will continue in a long-relief role for the team next year, limiting his fantasy appeal. In 11 years at the major-league level, Ramirez has posted a 4.21 ERA (4.50 FIP), a 1.22 WHIP, an 18.3 percent strikeout rate and a 6.4 percent walk rate with four saves in 768 frames over 276 outings (94 starts).
