The Washington Nationals have reportedly signed first baseman Matt Adams to a one-year deal worth $4 million. He can also earn up to $500 thousand in incentives.
Matt Adams split 2017 between the St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves, the latter of which cut him at the end of the season.
The 29-year-old appeared in 131 games total between the two clubs and hit to a .274/.319/.522 clip in 367 at-bats. He also had 20 homers, 65 RBI, a 112 wRC+ and .346 wOBA.
In the field, he provides pretty solid defense. Over 515.0 innings at first base in 2017, he was good for 1 DRS and a 3.7 UZR.
He also spent a little time in left field, logging a -5 DRS and -0.7 UZR in 129.1 innings.
Additionally, Washington has also signed former Met Tommy Milone to a minor league deal.
Milone would earn a $1.2 million base salary in the majors, and his contract contains another $1 million worth of incentives, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.
