The Nationals are in search of a starting pitcher this offseason and Mark Buehrle appears to be a perfect option. "The type of pitcher we're looking for is a good leader type of guy that throws a lot of innings that has shown he can win in the big leagues and really lead our staff," Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said. "If not by having the best stuff on the staff then by showing how to be a professional and how to be a winner and how to pitch 200 innings in a season many, many times in your career."
