Until last week, the Washington Nationals were set to decamp next month to the master-planned communities and chain restaurants of Viera, Fla., for spring training with a startling absence of dramatics. Enter Rafael Soriano.
If there was one takeaway from Soriano's introduction, officially installing him in a bullpen that already contained two right-handers with significant closing experience in Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard, it was that closing games was precisely what he was brought here to do.

Now it seems like every team has that kind of money, but when I was a free agent, not that long ago, there were only a few teams you could really go to."
"I have yet to speak to Robinson, so I'm not going to comment until I talk with him," Boras said.
