WASHINGTON — The Nationals finalized an $11 million, two-year deal with relieverHudson will be back with Washington after a successful half season and more that ended with him striking out Houston’s Michael Brantley for the final out of the Nationals’ Game 7 World Series win. The right-hander went 4 for 4 in save opportunities during the post-season and allowed no runs in seven of his nine post-season appearances.
The Nationals acquired Hudson, 32, from Toronto at the July 31 trade deadline. He went 3-0 with six saves and a 1.44 ERA in 24 games the rest of the regular season. Hudson’s return coupled with the signing of Will Harris makes the Nationals’ bullpen appear to be a strength after it was a major weakness early in 2019. Hudson, Harris and holdover lefty Sean Doolittle make up the back end of the bullpen and give manager Dave Martinez more options in the late innings.
Harris, who came from the Houston Astros, agreed to a $24 million, three-year deal. The Nationals this off-season also signed infielder Starlin Castro and first baseman Eric Thames and inked World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg to a long-term contract.
