Nationals Overhaul Bullpen
According to Chico Harlan, the Nationals have made some major changes to their 25-man roster. Here's a quick synopsis of the moves:
- Josh Bard: Optioned to AAA-Syracuse
- Saul Rivera: Optioned to AAA-Syracuse
- Wil Ledezma: Designated for assignment
- Steven Shell: Designated for assignment
The quartet was replaced by pitchers Jordan Zimmermann, Garrett Mock, Jason Bergmann, and veteran Kip Wells.
Following today's loss to the Marlins, which completed the second three-game sweep of the Nationals this season for the Fish already in 2009, Manny Acta was not shy about the bullpen:
I think it's embarrassing. I think it's unacceptable. I think our fans
have every right to be mad, like we are right now. And it's not going
to be tolerated. We're going to have a brand new bullpen tomorrow...
We had a chance
to win three games in a row, we couldn't do it, and it's not going to
be tolerated... Plenty of moves, and more to come.
