Watkins agreed to terms with the Nationals on Sunday, per his agency, Gaeta Sports Management.
Analysis: Watkins was initially expected to sign with a KBO team for the 2024 season, but he'll remain in MLB as part of the Nationals. He's made 40 appearances (31 starts) between the Orioles and Athletics in the majors over the past three seasons, posting a 5.97 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 164.1 innings.
Spenser Watkins Heading to KBO
Watkins is signing with a team in the Korea Baseball Organization, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Analysis: Watkins made just one major-league appearance in 2023 with Oakland and leaves behind a career 5.97 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 164.1 total big-league frames. Maybe the 31-year-old right-hander can find more success overseas.
