Nationals Sign Nick Goody To Minors Contract

By Mark Polishuk | July 7, 2021 at 7:45am CDT

The Nationals signed right-hander Nick Goody to a minor league contract.  Goody was released from another minors deal with the Yankees earlier this week, but his stint in free agency didn’t last long, and he’ll now head to Triple-A Rochester.

A veteran of six MLB seasons, Goody has yet to see any big league action in 2021, tossing 22 innings for the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate.  The righty has some very nice numbers (2.86 ERA, 36.5% strikeout rate, 8.23% walk rate) over those 22 frames, making him an intriguing signing for a Nationals team still missing several key relievers due to injury.

Goody is perhaps best known for his solid work in the Indians bullpen in 2017 and 2019, though he followed up those two seasons with injury-marred campaigns in 2018 and 2020.  Last season was spent in Texas, after the Rangers claimed Goody off Cleveland’s roster, but the right-hander battled back spasms and posted only a 9.00 ERA over 11 innings.

    This could be a sneaky good move for the Nats.

      Chicago just designated catcher Taylor Gushue. Nationals have a chance for a Goody-Gushue battery.

    Why do the Yankees always sign people to minor league contracts, and no matter how they do, they release them? Doesn’t quite make sense

      Why not ask why do players sign minor league contracts with the Yankees if Yankees never give any players a chance. At the time maybe some of those players were hoping to get a chance on a great team to play in October. Now that the Yankees have just about hit rock bottom players will second guess coming to NY moving forward.
