Bud Norris News
The Philadelphia Phillies released right-handed reliever Bud Norris and added catcher Rafael Marchan and lefty reliever Austin Davis to their player pool on Thursday. Norris was fantasy relevant in 2018 when he saved 28 games for St. Louis, but he didn't pitch in the Major Leagues last season and is a long shot to contribute anywhere in 2020. Marchan made headlines back in March with manager Joe Girardi praising the defensive ability of the 21-year-old backstop. However, his bat is way behind his glove; he hit just .261 with no homers across two levels of Single-A ball last season and he is too far down the depth chart to make an impact this season.
The Washington Nationals deal with free-agent relief pitcher Bud Norris (forearm) has fallen through. The Nats felt he was still four to five weeks away from being ready to pitch in the majors. Norris had a 3.59 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 67 strikeouts in 57 2/3 innings while also recording 28 saves for the Cardinals in 2018. The veteran relief arm must get healthy before another team gives him a chance, so he's well off the fantasy radar at this time.
Free-agent reliever Bud Norris has reportedly agreed to a minor league deal with the Washington Nationals, pending a physical. Norris was released from his minor league contract by the Toronto Blue Jays last week. The Nationals bullpen has been a dumpster fire to start the season and Norris will look to be a calming presence. The 34-year-old has a lifetime 4.45 ERA across 10 seasons in the majors, but with Sean Doolittle locked into the closer role, Norris is only worthy of fantasy consideration in leagues that count holds.
