Nathan Eovaldi, nearing 35 years old, is entering his 14th MLB season and has been remarkably consistent in recent years, maintaining an ERA between 3.63 and 3.81 since 2018, aside from one injury-plagued season. While he has served as the ace for the Texas Rangers due to Max Scherzer's injuries, Eovaldi is better suited as a strong second or third starter. His experience and postseason pedigree would be invaluable for a young Nationals pitching staff, making him an ideal fit as they aim for contention. Eovaldi's solid fastball and effective off-speed pitches allow him to get the job done without relying on flashy strikeout numbers.
