FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that the Nationals and Blue Jays have been in touch with free agent reliever Burke Badenhop.
Badenhop turns 32 in February and posted a 2.29 ERA and 40/19 K/BB ratio across 70 2/3 innings with the Red Sox last season. He doesn't strike out many guys, but he induces a ton of grounders and should be a serviceable middle reliever for someone. Jan 20 - 10:58 AM

Burke Badenhop - R - Red Sox

Burke Badenhop got the loss on Tuesday as the White Sox defeated the Red Sox 2-1 on a walk-off throwing error by Xander Bogaerts.

Badenhop wasn't sharp in the ninth inning, trying to keep a tie game intact. After allowing two singles (lead-off man Alejandro De Aza was caught stealing after his hit) and issuing another walk, Marcus Semien knocked a ball to Bogaerts, who made a low throw which couldn't be dug out by first baseman Mike Carp for the third out of the inning, allowing the White Sox to walk off as 2-1 winners. Badenhop hasn't been reliable in five appearances to start the season, allowing runs in each of his last four appearances.

Burke Badenhop - R - Red Sox

Red Sox acquired RHP Burke Badenhop from the Brewers in exchange for LHP Luis Ortega.

Over the last two seasons, Badenhop has posted a 3.25 ERA and identical 42/12 K/BB ratios across 62 1/3 innings. The sinkerballer made $1.55 million in 2013 and is arbitration-eligible for a final time this winter. He should make for a solid middle reliever in Boston.

Burke Badenhop - R - Red Sox

Burke Badenhop twirled two scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.

Acquired over the winter from the Rays for OF Raul Mondesi, Jr., Badenhop hasn't disappointed Milwaukee's brass, boasting a 2.11 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 24 appearances. Badenhop hasn't given up an earned run in May, which has had a gastric bypass-type effect on his earned run average.

Brewers avoided arbitration with RHP Burke Badenhop by agreeing to a one-year, $1.55 million contract.

Brewers acquired RHP Burke Badenhop from the Rays for OF Raul Mondesi, Jr.

Badenhop had a 3.03 ERA with the Rays this past season and should fit nicely as a middle reliever for the Brewers. He earned $1.075 million in 2012 and is arbitration-eligible for the third time this winter. Mondesi, Jr. signed as a 17-year-old free agent in 2010 and has yet to advance beyond the rookie-league level.

Badenhop, 28, posted a 4.10 ERA and 51/24 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 innings this past season. The ground ball specialist projects to make right around $1 million in his second year of arbitration and should fit nicely as a middle reliever for the Rays.

Burke Badenhop - R - Red Sox

Burke Badenhop turned in a scoreless 10th inning in a 1-1 game between the Mets and Marlins on Monday evening, but was just getting warmed up, as Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez elected to let him bat in the top of the 11th inning, where he responded with what would prove to be the game-winning RBI single.

It was a truly bizarre night at Citi Field, with both teams getting key extra-innings hits from pitchers, and Mets manager Terry Collins electing to intentionally walk Chris Coghlan to get to Hanley Ramirez in the ninth inning, among other innings. On the mound, Badenhop has not exactly lit the world ablaze since his May 7 recall, posting a 2.08 WHIP in 4 1/3 innings of work.

Marlins recalled RHP Burke Badenhop from Triple-A New Orleans.

Badenhop pitched very well in spring training but failed to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster. He has not fared well at Triple-A, posting a 6.75 ERA over 11 games, but he's contributed for the Fish over the last two seasons and should be able to fill a middle relief role.

Burke Badenhop - R - Red Sox

Marlins optioned RHP Burke Badenhop to Triple-A New Orleans.

Badenhop posted a cool 2.19 ERA in 12 1/3 innings this spring, but he failed to secure one of the last few spots in the Marlins' season-opening bullpen. The Fish could look to make a trade, considering how desperate other teams are for quality relievers. Badenhop posted a 3.99 ERA in 67-plus frames last year.

Burke Badenhop - R - Red Sox

Burke Badenhop pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings out of the pen in the Marlins' 6-5 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Badenhop lowered his spring ERA to 2.19. It's down to him and Brian Sanches for the final spot in Florida's bullpen. If they want to make a move, Badenhop would likely have some trade value after posting a 3.99 ERA in 67 2/3 innings last season.

Marlins signed RHP Burke Badenhop to a one-year contract.

Badenhop, 27, turned in a solid 3.99 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 67 2/3 innings this year for the Fish. He also posted quality numbers on a month-long stint in the minors. He will return to his role in middle relief.
