With Brian Lawrence likely out for the year, the Nationals finally signed Pedro Astacio to a one-year deal.

Astacio was the Game 2 starter for San Diego last year against St. Louis in the Division Series.

Wow -- so when Bowden said this idea was "dead," it was more of a metaphor I guess.

To play devil's advocate, it's possible that Astacio dropped his price convinced the Nats were walking away. Lower quality free agents have been in the cold, facing a buyer's market the past two months.

But I won't call Jim Bowden misogynistic.

It's an inside joke.
