Goforth inked a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with Washington on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth spent the last few years with the Brewers, but only appeared in one major-league game in 2017, while spending most of his time with Triple-A Colorado Springs. At the hitters' friendly confines of the Sky Sox, he posted a 3.98 ERA and 38:26 K:BB over 54.1 relief innings. Moving forward, he will look to find a spot on the Opening Day roster with Washington, but is likely to wind up beginning the year at the Triple-A level.

Goforth will become a free agent at the end of the 2017 season.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth only appeared in 31 games for the Brewers since joining the organization in 2011, including just one relief outing this year. He spent a majority of the 2017 season with Triple-A Colorado Springs, and faired pretty well, posting a 3.98 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in a hitter's park. The 29-year-old is unlikely to become a consistent presence in any major-league bullpen but should have the chance to make a club's roster come spring training.

Goforth was designated for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers made a flurry of roster moves Thursday, including the acquisition of right-hander Oliver Drake from the Orioles. Goforth had just recently been promoted to the Brewers and made one appearance, a scoreless inning against the Cubs, during his stint. He is now subject to waivers and could also be traded to another club.

Goforth had his contract purchased by the Brewers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With the team looking for bullpen reinforcement, Goforth received the good news of his contract selection. The 28-year-old will likely work in a low-leverage and long relief role for the Brewers. Fellow Triple-A pitcher Damien Magnifico was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

Goforth was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth was designated for assignment in late November, and this seals his fate as he'll head to the minors to continue acting as organizational bullpen depth. He does have some big league experience to his credit, but the right-hander's numbers in the majors have been nothing to call home about, which will likely limit his ceiling to that of a middle reliever.

Goforth was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth allowed 13 earned runs in 10.2 innings with the Brewers in 2016, which when combined with his 4.91 ERA at Triple-A Colorado Springs, made him a clear candidate to be taken off the 40-man roster. If he clears waivers, he's likely headed toward another stint in Colorado Springs.

Goforth was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth appeared in 3.0 innings during his short stint with the Brewers, and posted a 15.0 ERA and 2.67 WHIP. He'll head back down to the minors to make some adjustments.

Goforth was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth struggled with the big club earlier in the season, allowing eight runs over just 7.2 innings while giving up two home runs. He's had somewhat better results with Colorado Springs, but has plenty of room to improve, as he's posting a 4.50 ERA and 1.76 WHIP at the Triple-A level.

Goforth was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move cleared room for Will Smith to be activated from the DL. Goforth should continue to serve as organizational depth going forward.

Goforth was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Goforth has been putting up solid numbers out of the Sky Sox bullpen, making him a clear candidate for promotion when Chris Capuana (elbow) was placed on the disabled list. Goforth will likely slot into a middle relief role and mainly pitch in lower-leverage situations, especially if he can't improve his 7.20 major league ERA he holds from his first stint with the parent club.
