Spenser Watkins Inks Minors Pact With Nationals
11 months agoThe Washington Nationals have signed right-hander Spenser Watkins to a minor-league deal. The 31-year-old was originally drafted by the Tigers in the 30th round back in 2014 but hasn't enjoyed much success at the major league level. Watkins owns a career 5.97 ERA across 40 MLB appearances (31 starts) spanning 164 1/3 innings of work. He most recently appeared in just 4 1/3 innings this past season with the Oakland A's, logging one start and allowing five runs and two home runs in that time. He didn't fair much better at the Triple-A level between the A's, Orioles and Astros organizations, combing to toss a 7.86 ERA across 21 appearances (16 starts) and 71 innings of work. He will serve as rotation depth for the Nationals, whether it be in the minors or at the big-league level.
