Washington Nationals Acquire Left-Hander Reiver Sanmartin From Giants

The Washington Nationals acquired 30-year-old left-handed reliever Reiver Sanmartin from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for minor league right-hander Robert Cranz. Sanmartin, who is out of minor league options, recorded a 4.22 ERA across 21.1 major league innings last season while featuring a low 22-degree arm angle. He demonstrated strong control with a 2.95 BB/9 and an elite 62.9% ground ball rate, positioning him as a potential bullpen fit for Washington.
