WSH Starting Pitcher #70

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Nationals optioned LHP Mitchell Parker to Triple-A Rochester.

Parker has been a fixture in the Nationals’ rotation over the last two seasons, making 29 starts in 2024 and 30 starts (33 appearances) in 2025. However, he posted just a 5.68 ERA and 103/.58 K/BB ratio in 164 2/3 innings last season, and has not won a spot in the rotation this year. With Parker beginning the year in Triple-A, Foster Griffin and Jake Irvin will likely claim the final two spots in the Nationals’ rotation.

Colt Emerson

SEA Shortstop #85

Mariners signed SS prospect Colt Emerson to an 8-year, $95 million contract extension.

The contract has a team option for the ninth year, a full no-trade clause, and escalators that could have it worth more than $130 million. It’s a record for a player who has yet to debut in the major leagues. Emerson started this season in Triple-A, but could debut by the end of April if he gets off to a hot start.
