Daniel Hudson, Roenis Elias traded to Nationals in separate deals

Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals continue to work to try to upgrade their bullpen ahead of a potential playoff run.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Nationals have acquired Daniel Hudson from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league pitcher Kyle Johnston. They are also reportedly close to adding reliever Roenis Elias from the Seattle Mariners.

Hudson has been a revelation for Toronto this season. He has appeared in 45 games with a 3.00 ERA, striking out a batter an inning. Those numbers are significantly better than most of the Nationals bullpen, Sean Doolittle excepted. He could immediately slot into a setup role and strengthen Washington in the later innings.

Elias, meanwhile, has a 4.40 ERA in 44 appearances this season. He does have a track record of success, having posted a 2.65 ERA in 2018.
