Nationals Add Chad Kuhl On Minor-League Deal
2 years agoThe Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Chad Kuhl to a minor-league deal on Saturday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. The 30-year-old struggled with the Colorado Rockies last year and went 25-30 with a 4.44 ERA in 100 games (84 starts) with the Pittsburgh Pirates before that. He'll give the Nationals more starting pitching depth. In his 27 starts for the Rockies in 2022, Kuhl produced a career-worst 5.72 ERA (5.26 FIP), 1.55 WHIP and weak 17.8 percent strikeout rate in 137 1/3 innings pitched. A right triceps strain put him on the injured list to close out last season, but he could see some spot starts for a rebuilding Nationals organization if he proves he's healthy early in 2023.
