Nationals Move On From Mikolas | MLB News

The Nationals just made a bold move, sending veteran pitcher Miles Mikolas to waivers to make room for prospect Jackson Kent’s major league debut — and it’s part of a bigger cleanup of their struggling pitching staff. After releasing Zack Littell last week, the team is moving on from free-agent signings, with only Foster Griffin seeing real success before being traded. Mikolas, known for control and durability, has been plagued by high ERAs and homers since 2023, and despite his $2.25M salary, he’ll likely land a minor-league deal if claimed. With Brad Lord possibly returning to the rotation, the Nationals are betting big on youth to turn things around. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
