Nationals' Joe La Sorsa: Exits 40-man roster
The Nationals designated La Sorsa for assignment Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
The move creates space on the 40-man roster for the addition of Shinnosuke Ogasawara. La Sorsa, 26, sports a 4.47 ERA and 42:12 K:BB over 50.1 innings covering parts of two seasons at the major-league level. The lefty reliever has a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Nationals' Shinnosuke Ogasawara: Two-year contract with Washington
The Nationals signed Ogasawara to a two-year contract Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
The financial details of the deal are not yet known. Ogasawara, 27, posted a 3.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB over 144.1 innings in his most recent of nine seasons with the Chunichi Dragons in Japan. The left-hander figures to be given an opportunity to compete for a spot in the Nationals' rotation but could ultimately settle into a relief role.

Nationals' Brady House: Nets spring invite
The Nationals have extended House an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
House's 2024 season qualified as a disappointment, as he slashed just .241/.297/.402 with 19 home runs and a 26.4 percent strikeout rate between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. He was young for each level, though, particularly at Triple-A, given that he won't turn 22 until June. The Nationals don't have much blocking House at third base, so he could debut sooner rather than later if he can make some strides in 2025. Jarlin Susana is another one of the Nationals' top prospects to earn an invitation to big-league camp.

Nationals' Andrew Knizner: Latches on with Nats
Knizner signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday and received an invitation to spring training, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Knizner spent the majority of last season with the Rangers, slashing just .167/.183/.211 over 93 plate appearances before being DFA'd in August. He posted a .743 OPS with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate to close the season and will likely report to Triple-A Rochester to begin the 2025 campaign.

Nationals' Franchy Cordero: Nabs MiLB deal with Washington
The Nationals signed Cordero to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
He did not receive an invitation to major-league spring training. Cordero spent the 2024 season with the Seibu Lions in Japan, hitting nine homers with a .714 OPS in 121 contests. The 30-year-old has put up big numbers in the minors but has never been able to have sustained success in the majors, posting a career .678 OPS over parts of seven seasons.

Nationals' Joan Adon: Remains in organization
The Nationals outrighted Adon (biceps) to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Adon's 2024 season ended with a biceps injury and it's unclear whether he will be healthy for spring training.

Nationals' Amos Willingham: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Nationals designated Willingham for assignment Saturday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
With Jorge Lopez (groin) signing a one-year deal with the Nats on Saturday, Willingham will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot. The 26-year-old righty spent most of his time last season with Triple-A Rochester, where he logged a 3.69 ERA and 1.35 WHIP alongside a 71:31 K:BB across 68.1 innings.

Nationals' Jorge Lopez: Headed to Washington
Lopez (groin) signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Nationals on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
After being unceremoniously cut by the Mets midway through last season, Lopez signed with the Cubs and immediately went on one of the best statistical runs of his career, turning in a 2.03 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 26.2 innings with Chicago. The 31-year-old reliever still holds a 5.25 ERA over his nine-year career, but his recent performance and a lack of depth in Washington's bullpen could allow him to appear regularly in high-leverage situations.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Agrees to deal with Nats
Garcia and the Nationals agreed to a one-year contract worth $4.5 million to avoid arbitration Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Garcia enjoyed a breakout 2024 season, posting a career-best .162 ISO and 111 wRC+ across 528 plate appearances. He should play a key role in the middle of the Nationals lineup again in 2025 and will see a pay raise of roughly $2.6 million as compared to last season.

Nationals' Josiah Gray: Gets deal for 2025
Gray (elbow) agreed to a one-year, $1.35 million contract with the Nationals on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Gray underwent Tommy John surgery and an internal brace procedure in July to address a partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow. The Nationals haven't yet ruled him out for the entire 2025 campaign, but any appearance for the 27-year-old righty would almost certainly come in the final weeks of the season.

Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Avoids arbitration
The Nationals and Gore avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $2.9 million Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Gore had an uneven but ultimately pretty encouraging 2024 season, finishing with a 3.90 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 181:65 K:BB over 166.1 innings covering a career-high 32 starts. He'll be a key rotation piece for the Nationals again in 2025.

Nationals' Derek Law: Receives $2.75 million
The Nationals and Law avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.75 million contract Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Law was one of Washington's most reliable relievers in 2024, posting a 2.60 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 76:24 K:BB over 90 innings. He could be in the mix for saves in 2025 as things stand right now, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Nationals bring in a closer from outside the organization.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Avoids arbitration
The Nationals and Adams avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $850,000 contract Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Adams is a career .224/.304/.378 hitter over parts of four big-league seasons and was eligible for arbitration for the first time. He's out of minor-league options, so he'll either open 2025 as the Nationals' backup catcher or be exposed to waivers.
