Joe Blanton to sign with the Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals and FA pitcher Joe Blanton have agreed to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Blanton didn't start at all last season but pitched in 75 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers finishing 2016 with a 7-2 record 2.48 ERA, and a 1.01 WHIP in 80 innings pitched. Blanton might have relevance fantasy wise in holds leagues but outside of that he can be ignored to start the season.

Joe Blanton strikes out three

Joe Blanton struck out three White Sox in two perfect innings Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Blanton is...not good. He sports a career 4.44 ERA and 1.348 WHIP in 1,643 innings pitched. With that said, due to the Hyun-Jin Ryu and Brett Anderson injuries, Blanton could be a candidate to be the Dodgers' No. 5 starter.

Dodgers sign Joe Blanton to a one-year deal

The Dodgers have agreed to sign right-handed pitcher Joe Blanton to a one-year, $4 million deal.

Fantasy Impact

In his 11-year career, Blanton has pitched for the Athletics, Phillies, Angels, Royals, Pirates and Dodgers back in 2012. He's amassed a 92-91 record, 4.44 ERA and 1.348 WHIP during that span. He will likely be swingman out of the bullpen. With the suspect health and lefty-dominance of the Dodgers' starting rotation, Blanton could be a valuable piece of the pitching staff.

Joe Blanton designated for assignment

The Kansas City Royals have designated Joe Blanton for assignment in order to clear a roster spot for Johnny Cueto.

Fantasy Impact

Blanton had recently moved to the bullpen and been used in a long relief role, so his designation for assignment has little fantasy impact.

Joe Blanton notches second save in long relief

Blanton pitched three innings allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks, earning his second save in the Royals 9-4 victory over the Indians.

Fantasy Impact

Blanton pitched well in relief, but allowed a HR off Francisco Lindor in the first AB, allowing two inherited runners to score. After that, he only allowed two base runners and was able to lower his ERA to 3.89 while picking up the save.
