Overview
- St. Louis adds Soriano to its 40‑man and will bring the 26‑year‑old reliever to Major League spring camp.
- Soriano has appeared in 72 MLB games over the past three seasons and was claimed off waivers by the Orioles, Braves, and Nationals this offseason.
- Washington receives Granillo, 25, a slider‑heavy righty who logged a 1.29 ERA with 58 strikeouts in 42 Triple‑A innings in 2025.
- Granillo recorded a 4.71 ERA and one save in 14 MLB appearances last season after earning a call‑up from Triple‑A Memphis.
- The Nationals also placed Trevor Williams on the 60‑day IL, and local analysis framed the trade as a favorable move for GM Paul Toboni given Granillo’s upside and options.
