Will the Washington Nationals make a play for Andrew McCutchen this winter?
The centerfielder is under contract for 2017 and has a team option in place for 2018. Dollar wise, his deal pays $14 million next year and, potentially, $14.5 the next. If you are needing a proven outfield bat, say to hit with Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth, McCutchen would be a good option.
Never confused as a defensive guru—his defensive WAR registered a -2.6 in 2016—McCutchen brings another veteran presence on a young team trying to advance in the playoffs.
