Opts out of Nationals contract
The Nationals released Bleier on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The lefty exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and the Nats elected to give him his release rather than add him to the big-league roster. Bleier holds a 4.32 ERA and 10:2 K:BB over 16.2 innings this season with Triple-A Rochester.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
Since making his major-league debut as a 29-year old in 2016, Bleier has posted an ERA below 2.00 in three seasons and an ERA below 3.00 in all but one campaign. He relies on an extreme groundball approach and in turn limiting home runs. That's proven effective, as he's allowed only 0.6 HR/9 while inducing groundballs at a 66% clip across 249 career innings. In 2021, Bleier picked up a career-high 20 holds, with 51 of his 68 appearances coming in the seventh inning or later and 40 coming with the game either tied or the team leading by three runs or fewer. However, that's likely to be the peak of his production, as his 19.6 K% in 2021 was a career-high rate and doesn't fit a typical closer role. Nevertheless, he's proven to be a trusted member of the Marlins bullpen and could be in a position to rack up holds once again.
