The Washington Nationals addressed their need for middle-infield depth Thursday by agreeing to a one-year deal with Stephen Drew that's reportedly worth $3.5 million plus incentives, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.
Drew enjoyed a successful season with the Nationals in 2016, hitting .266/.339/.524 with eight home runs and 11 doubles in 70 games while seeing time at second and third base in addition to time at shortstop.
The move gives the Nationals added insurance in the infield behind Trea Turner, Daniel Murphy, and Anthony Rendon that was lost when the club traded away Danny Espinosa to the Los Angeles Angels last month.
