Gott was included in a trade to the Nationals on Thursday in exchange for veteran Yunel Escobar, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The 23-year-old Gott had an impressive first season in the majors in 2015, posting a 3.02 ERA and 1.238 WHIP over 47.2 innings of work. He should have a chance to carve out a solid relief role with the Nationals after the club experienced so much turnover and turmoil in the bullpen over the past year.
