Nats are not playing around.
Despite the great ERA, Fister's FIP was quietly 3.93 last year. This move seems totally justifiable yet bold.
Not sure why Desmond cant get the same treatment except that he's a long time Expo/Nat with intangible leadership skills. But his bat is wack. His BABIP is 35 points lower than his career average, so maybe they think his luck will turn around. His K% and Hard% are both about 6% worse than his average and he's swinging outsize of the zone a bit more than usual. I know he hit a homer yesterday, but cmon, free Espi!
