The Nationals non-tendered Tim Redding this offseason allowing him to become a free agent. According to the New York Daily News the Mets have reported they're interested in signing him.
Redding at many points of the season was the best pitcher for Washington. In the first half Redding went 7-3 with a 3.85 ERA and 75 K's, however in the second half he couldn't quite produce at the same level, posting a 3-8 record with a 6.82 ERA.
While Redding certainly wasn't a part of the Nationals future, it would have been nice to see him stick around and eat up some innings for another year or two. New York will be a good place for him however, as he will have a chance to be a 4th or 5th starter on a potential playoff team.

Hi!
I’m Kristin, a University of Pennsylvania psychology student and a huge baseball fan. I am currently conducting an honors thesis study on clutch ability and psychological characteristics of Major league baseball players. I made a survey asking fans to rate players from various teams on certain characteristics. One of these teams is the Nationals and it would be great to have some Nationals fans fill out my survey and rate their favorite players. Here is some background info:
What is “clutch”? What players are considered “clutch” performers? What players are “gritty” or have natural talent? Are these players also “clutch”? These frequently cited terms in the game of baseball have rarely been objectively studied. I have created a survey asking about some Major League players’ characteristics and it would be great if some of you, being huge baseball fans, could fill it out! It should only take a maximum of 10 minutes. Also, I would love to hear any comments that you have about my survey! Thanks so much for all your help!
