Michael Soroka and the Washington Nationals agree to a $9 million contract for the 2025 season
Right-hander Michael Soroka has agreed to a $9 million contract for the 2025 season with the Washington Nationals2 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Signs with Washington Soroka agreed to terms on a one-year, $9 million contract with the Nationals on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Soroka started last season with a 6.39 ERA and 1.51 WHIP after nine starts with the White Sox. The right-hander's performance improved dramatically after moving to the bullpen, posting a 2.75 ERA and 1.22 WHIP alongside a 60:20 K:BB over 36 frames as a reliever. The Nationals will attempt to transition Soroka back into a starting role, per Andrew Golden of The Washington Post, but given the 27-year-old's injury history and the fact he hasn't reached 100 innings since 2019, the Nationals may look to limit his workload.

De La Cruz did not receive an invitation to spring training and is likely pegged for Triple-A Rochester to begin 2025.

Taken in Rule 5 draft The Nationals selected Reifert with the fifth pick in the Rule 5 draft Wednesday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports.
Impact Reifert has been a known reliever prospect for a couple years, thanks largely to some very high strikeout rates in the lower levels. He missed most of 2023 with a shoulder injury but had a strong showing down the stretch last season at Double-A, logging a 1.96 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 65 strikeouts in 41.1 innings. Reifert will likely begin the year in a low-leverage role, but there's a chance for upward mobility in a shallow Nationals bullpen.
