Nationals Sign Ex-Red Sox Lefty Dean

The Washington Nationals have signed lefty Noah Dean on a minor-league deal, a pitcher theyve been impressed by despite his release by the Boston Red Sox. Dean, a 2022 fifth-round pick, had a 5.35 ERA in three minor-league seasons but showcased impressive strikeout potential. Nationals president of baseball operations, Paul Toboni, who previously worked with Dean in Boston, sees untapped potential in the 25-year-old. Deans command was inconsistent, but his raw power is enticing, especially as the Nationals farm system lacks pitching depth. This move follows their December acquisition of ex-Red Sox pitcher Luis Peralta. Dean will now have a chance to prove himself in Nats camp under Tobonis guidance.
