Adam Eaton acquired by Nationals from White Sox

The Washington Nationals have found their center fielder.

The Nationals acquired veteran outfielder Adam Eaton from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday for three young pitchers in right-hander Lucas Giolito, right-hander Reynaldo Lopez and 2016 first-round pick right-hander Dane Dunning.

Eaton batted .284 with 14 home runs, 59 RBI and 14 stolen bases last season with the White Sox. After moving over center field, Eaton spent last season in right field and was a finalist for an American League Gold Glove Award. He led the majors with 18 outfield assists.

Eaton has three seasons left on his $23.
