3 years agoThe Washington Nationals signed free-agent starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez on Sunday. The Nationals were one of the teams that came away impressed with Sanchez's showcase for interested teams on Saturday, and they didn't wait long to reunite with the veteran hurler. The 38-year-old signed a minor league deal that includes an invite to spring training. Sanchez didn't find any deals to his liking last year and sat out the season, but he'll return to the club that he pitched for his previous two seasons in 2019 and 2020. In 11 starts in 2020, he had a rough 6.62 ERA and 1.66 WHIP while fanning 43 and walking 18 in 53 innings. With Joe Ross (elbow) and Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) recovering from injuries, Sanchez has a shot to open the year in the Nats starting rotation, but he won't be a particularly attractive fantasy play.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
