"Gott's contract included an invitation to Spring Training. If he does make the team, this could be good for the Nationals, maybe not in terms of preventing runs, but in terms of having a veteran presence in the clubhouse. The Nationals are an extremely young team. They have great young talent, but an experienced veteran, who has bounced between the big leagues and minors his whole career, and in between teams too, will help with mental approaches to the game."
"I love seeing a great bounce back to the Majors. Gott has spent parts of 10 seasons in the minors of various teams, and parts of 8 seasons in the majors with multiple teams. He missed the entire 2024 season, and last season he posted across the Mariners' AAA and Rookie League affiliates. Not good at all. The Nationals front office definitely had some belief in him to sign him to a deal, albeit, a low-risk deal,"
Trevor Gott aims to return to the Major Leagues with the Washington Nationals after missing the entire 2024 season and spending last year in the Mariners' minor leagues. Persistent injuries and uneven performance have limited his recent big-league opportunities; he last pitched in MLB in 2023 with the New York Mets. The Nationals signed him to a low-risk contract with a Spring Training invitation. His veteran experience and history of moving between majors and minors could provide clubhouse leadership and mental approach guidance for an extremely young roster, though his past 7.39 ERA and 1.857 WHIP in three seasons with Washington indicate a challenging path back.
