Returning to majors with Washington
Chafin agreed Thursday with the Nationals on a one-year, major-league contract, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Chafin had a May 1 opt-out date of his minor-league contract with the Tigers, and since a promotion to the big club wasn't imminent, Detroit opted to release him Wednesday. The lefty quickly found a new home on a big-league deal and will provide the Nationals with an experienced left-handed option out of the bullpen. Chafin turned in a 2.13 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB in 12.2 innings with Triple-A Toledo before Detroit released him.

Chafin has pitched for six different teams over the last four seasons, as there's always a market for steady left-handed relievers. After inking a 1-year deal with Arizona last February, the 33-year-old was one of the D'Backs most trusted relievers early on. He even got some run as the team's closer, tallying eight saves over the first two months. Chafin continued to find success with his slider (.111 BA), which had the 6th-highest whiff percentage (55.8%) in the league for that pitch type. Unfortunately, the southpaw couldn't sustain his early-season success and was traded to Milwaukee at the deadline. He closed out 2023 with a 5.82 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB over his final 17 innings and had his $7.25 million club option for 2024 declined. Chafin should still find work this season based on his experience and handedness, but he may be entering the downswing of his career.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Chafin won't be guaranteed a place on the Opening Day roster after signing a minor-league contract Monday, reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander is back for his third stint with the Tigers but will likely need a strong showing in spring training to earn a roster spot. Chafin has recorded double-digit holds in each of the past four seasons and has a 2.96 ERA across his two previous stints in Detroit.
