"The Washington Nationals have been a very busy team so far since their season ended. Besides replacing basically an entire front office from top to bottom, filling out a big league coaching staff complete with the youngest manager in the sport, and allowing over 30 minor leaguers to become free agents, it's clear that new President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni is trying to clean up the organization in a big way."
"Righty Eddy Yean is now set to be back in the organization for the first time since he got traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates back in 2020, but how has he fared since leaving? At the time of the deal, Yean was still a full-time starting pitcher working his way through the minors, but he has since been moved to being a reliever."
"Now at 24-years-old, Yean is coming off a decent season in which he spent the entirety of with AAA Indianapolis for the Pirates' organization, and he will provide some valuable reliever depth back in the Nationals' organization now. In signing a minor league deal, not a ton will be expected of Yean, but Toboni wants to bring in new faces to outfit the upper levels of the Nationals' minor leagues, and Yean definitely fits that profile."
Paul Toboni has overhauled the Nationals' baseball operations and coaching staff, allowed many minor leaguers to reach free agency, and is rebuilding upper minor-league rosters. MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams have uncertain roster futures. The Nationals signed right-hander Eddy Yean to a minor-league contract, marking the first free-agent addition of the offseason. Yean, traded to the Pirates in 2020, moved from starting to relief work. At 24, he spent the season with Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a 3.44 ERA and 1.599 WHIP across 70.2 innings in 50 games. Yean adds low-expectation relief depth and organizational experience.
