Fantasy Impact
Rodriguez, who was released by the Tigers after a truly dreadful season, couldn't land in a much better spot. The Nationals have been searching for reliable relievers all season, and, although K-Rod is far from that, he does bring the "closer experience" that Dusty Baker probably craves. It's unclear what role Rodriguez will step into if he does sign with the Nationals, but he's not a bad add if you're speculating for saves.
