Matt Krook is now a free agent after the Washington Nationals designated him for assignment on July 10, 2026. The left-handed pitcher had recently been outrighted to Triple-A but rejected the assignment, utilizing his right due to previous outright experiences. Krook, who previously played for the New York Yankees and has also been with the Athletics and Orioles, has made limited major-league appearances, compiling a 3.08 ERA as a reliever in the minors. Teams in need of relief help may consider signing him given his impressive strikeout rate despite concerns related to his high walk rate.
