Nationals acquired LHP Josh Hartle from the Guardians in a five-player trade.

Hartle was previous acquired by the Guardians in the 2024 deal that sent the Pirates Spencer Horwitz. The 6-foot-6 southpaw has forged a 3.86 ERA over 19 starts with Double-A Akron while posting a K/BB ratio of 88/37 in 93 1/3 innings. The southpaw projects as a backend starter at the next level, but Washington will hope to untap more from a player that doesn’t turn 24 until the end of March.

Guardians acquired LHP Josh Hartle, RHP Luis Ortiz and LHP Michael Kennedy from the Pirates for 1B Spencer Horwitz.

Hartle represents the proverbial lottery ticket in the deal as a towering left-hander who was selected in the third round of last year’s MLB Draft. The 21-year-old southpaw made just one appearance this past season in his professional debut. He’ll be a long-term project for Cleveland’s player development engine.
