No word on that yet. I'm gonna add him too. I think he'll be the guy more often than doolittle. I also don't think the nats are done. I bet they still go after another closer. They are still looking at Brad Hand, Iglesias and probably still Robertson, among others.

As a Nats fan, I love this move. Those were decent prospects, but neither are close to the majors. Treinan probably could use the change of scenery. His season couldn't have started out any worse.

especially with this much time still to go ahead of the deadline.

I just read on CBS that Washington

wanted Madson but the trade grew to include Doolittle. So, there is speculation that Madson will be the primary closer.
