The Washington Nationals and star outfielder Bryce Harper have agreed to a one-year deal for $13,625,000 on Friday, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney.
Harper, 24, will again avoid arbitration. He did so before the 2014 season by signing a two-year deal that paid him $5 million this past season.
In 2015, Harper became the youngest unanimous MVP ever after a season in which hit .330 with 42 home runs and led the majors in on-base and slugging percentage.
But in 2016, the former first overall pick, who turned 24 in October, struggled to replicate his historic MVP campaign.
