Seth Lugo Attracting Interest From Three Teams
2 years agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals are pursuing free-agent right-hander Seth Lugo. He's likely to be given a chance to start in 2023 and has flexibility to pitch in relief as well. The Nationals just signed swingman Trevor Williams on Friday, but they could also add Lugo to give them additional pitching depth. Lugo, 33, has served as an effective swingman for the New York Mets for the last seven seasons, and he went 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA (3.76 FIP), a 1.17 WHIP, three saves and a 69:18 K:BB in 65 innings over 62 relief appearances in 2022. He hasn't been as effective in recent seasons as he was in 2019, but he's very useful for his ability to start and pitch in relief.
