Nationals signed RHP Ty Tice to a minor league contract.
Tice hasn’t appeared in the big league since the 2021 season when he made five relief appearances between the Blue Jays and Braves. The 27-year-old righty spent this past season in the Braves’ minor league system, compiling an inflated 6.37 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 83/31 K/BB ratio across 53 2/3 innings (45 appearances) between Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett. He’s merely upper-level minor league pitching depth at this juncture of his career.
