"Gott returns to the District for the second time in his career, as he posted a 7.39 ERA over 28 innings with the Nats from 2016-18. This disappointing performance came on the heels of Gott's strong 2015 rookie season with the Angels, but after the Nationals acquired the righty in a trade for Yunel Escobar during the 2015-16 offseason, Gott battled injuries and ineffectiveness while being shuttled up and down from the majors and Triple-A."
"After being dealt to the Giants prior to the 2019 season, Gott struggled again in 2020 and didn't pitch in the big leagues at all until resurfacing with the Brewers in 2022. The 2022-23 seasons saw Gott establish himself as a solid innings eater out of the Brewers, Mariners, and Mets bullpens, as Gott delivered a 4.17 ERA, 23.7% strikeout rate, and 6.9% walk rate over 103 2/3 innings."
Trevor Gott signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals that likely includes a Spring Training invite. He posted a 7.39 ERA in 28 innings with Washington from 2016–18 after a strong 2015 rookie season with the Angels. Gott battled injuries and inconsistency while shuttled between the majors and Triple-A and struggled again after a trade to the Giants. He resurfaced in 2022 and produced a 4.17 ERA, 23.7% strikeout rate and 6.9% walk rate across 103 2/3 innings in 2022–23. After being non-tendered following 2023 and undergoing Tommy John surgery in March 2024, the 33-year-old aims to show his recovery and earn a Nationals bullpen job.
