"At long last, the Washington Nationals have finally signed a player in free agency to a big league contract. After going almost the entire offseason having inked just 1 player to a major league deal previously, the Nationals have struck again as spring training began to kick into gear. As mentioned, the Nationals had inked lefty Foster Griffin to a deal earlier this season, and as of yesterday he had been the only player brought in by the club on an actual contract."
"But on Wednesday afternoon, the Nationals brought in 37-year-old righty Miles Mikolas on a 1-year deal worth $2.25M plus incentives that could net him some extra money. Nationals fans should be pretty familiar with him by now, as he has pitched very well against the franchise over the course of his career. Throughout his MLB career, Mikolas has a 72-75 record to go with a 4.24 ERA and 1.216 WHIP in 241 games, making 213 starts."
The Nationals entered the offseason with only one major-league signing, lefty Foster Griffin, but remained highly active in roster moves across the organization. The club rebuilt veteran depth at upper minor-league levels and overhauled multiple minor-league coaching staffs. The front office was active on the waiver wire and in trades, acquiring Harry Ford and Andre Granillo and trading MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers. The Nationals added 37-year-old starter Miles Mikolas on a one-year, $2.25M contract with incentives. Mikolas carries a 72-75 record, a 4.24 ERA and a 1.216 WHIP in 241 MLB games, with All-Star nods in 2018 and 2022, though recent performance has declined with age.
