 The Washington Nationals are bringing back veteran right-hander Trevor Williams on a two-year, $14 million contract, reports Stephen J. Nesbitt of The Athletic. The deal includes an invitation for Williams to join the Nationals' Spring Training camp, where he will compete for a spot in the starting rotation.
Williams, who turns 33 shortly after the start of the 2025 season, had an impressive 2024 season despite being limited to just 13 starts due to a right flexor strain. He finished the year with a 2.03 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 59 strikeouts over 66.2 innings3. His strong finish to the season, where he posted a 2.22 ERA over his first 11 starts, convinced the Nationals to bring him back for another two years. Williams has had an up-and-down career, but his recent performance has shown his potential to be a valuable asset to the Nationals' pitching staff. The Nationals are betting on his ability to replicate or improve upon his 2024 performance over the next two seasons. With Williams rejoining the team, the Nationals aim to bolster their rotation, which is expected to feature a mix of veteran presence and young talent. Williams' experience and ability to perform under pressure will be crucial as he competes for a spot in the starting rotation.
