Jonathan Papelbon suspended for rest of season

September 28, 2015

Washington Nationals – We thought that Jonathan Papelbon would be suspended for only three games, but it turns out that his season is now over. The team announced that it has suspended Papelbon for four games for his role in choking Bryce Harper. This will be in addition to his three-game suspension from the MLB that he will begin serving immediately. We suspect the team will move to a committee for the remainder of the season, with Blake Treinen leading the mediocre array of arms.

Updated hierarchy: *Treinen | Rivero | Janssen.
* = closer-by-committee.
