One former member of the New York Mets is looking to work his way back up to the big leagues. Free agency has been extremely slow and there still are plenty of players out there who are starting to find new opportunities.
As the reporting date for pitchers and catchers nears, the Washington Nationals have come to terms with right-handed pitcher Robert Gsellman. Jon Heyman of the New York Post had the news on social media: Robert Gsellman signs minors deal with Nats.
Gsellman took the bump during Tuesday's blowout loss for a stint as a long reliever. He tossed 76 pitches before he abruptly left the game in the eighth inning with what was first described as a left oblique injury.
Before the New York Mets could embark upon improving a team that finished 77-85 and in fourth place in the NL East in 2018, their first order of business had to be determining the individual who would replace Sandy Alderson as the club's general manager.
