Nationals' Matt Wieters: Inks two-year deal with Nats

Wieters and the Nationals agreed to terms on a two-year, $21 million deal Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports.

Analysis:

The 30-year-old was an All-Star for the Orioles last season, but the organization did not express much interest in bringing him back, and Wieters will now join the Nationals on a two-year contract, which includes an opt-out after Year 1. While Wieters has slipped a bit on the defensive end, he remains a strong hitter in what should be a dangerous lineup, and he's coming off of a season in which he hit .243 to go with 66 RBI across 423 at-bats. Wieters figures to immediately jump Derek Norris as the Nationals' starting catcher, and it's possible Norris could now be moved as he attempts to bounce back from a disastrous 2016 season, during which he hit just. 186 in 415 at-bats for the Padres.
