"Trevor Gott hasn't had the best career; however, he is looking to bounce back with his former team, the Nationals, with whom he spent parts of the 2016 through 2018 seasons. Gott has struggled with injuries his whole career and spent all of last season in the Seattle Mariners' farm system. He wants to make it back to the Show, a place where he hasn't pitched since 2023, when playing for the New York Mets."
"If he does make the team, this could be good for the Nationals, maybe not in terms of preventing runs, but in terms of having a veteran presence in the clubhouse. The Nationals are an extremely young team. They have great young talent, but an experienced veteran, who has bounced between the big leagues and minors his whole career, and in between teams too, will help with mental approaches to the game."
"I love seeing a great bounce back to the Majors. Gott has spent parts of 10 seasons in the minors of various teams, and parts of 8 seasons in the majors with multiple teams. He missed the entire 2024 season, and last season he posted across the Mariners' AAA and Rookie League affiliates. Not good at all. The Nationals front office definitely had some belief in him to sign him to a deal, albeit, a low-risk deal."
Trevor Gott signed a low-risk deal with the Washington Nationals that includes a Spring Training invitation as he attempts to return to major-league pitching. He missed the entire 2024 season and spent last year in the Seattle Mariners' minor-league system after a career marked by injuries and inconsistent results. Gott has extensive experience across minors and majors but posted poor results in his prior Nationals stint. The Nationals may value his veteran clubhouse influence while evaluating whether he can be redeveloped into a reliable relief option at the minor- or major-league level.
