Nationals' Richard Bleier: Signs MiLB deal with Nationals

Bleier signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Bleier logged a 5.28 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 30.2 innings with the Red Sox last season before being designated for assignment in August. The 36-year-old southpaw will likely head to Triple-A Rochester to begin 2024.
