Janssen, 33, has played in eight season in the major leagues all with the Toronto Blue Jays. He has closer experience recording 81 over the last three seasons. Washington already has a closer in Drew Storen, but the signing deepens their bullpen and adds more veteran experience. Janssen was one of the better remaining options on the free agent market for relief pitchers.
Washington who has one of the best rotations in baseball gets more help at the back end with this signing and for $5 million could be looked at as a bargain depending on how the season plays out.
