Report: Brad Hand, Nationals Agree to 1-Year, $10.5M Contract in Free Agency

The Washington Nationals reportedly signed left-handed closer to a one-year, $10.5 million deal.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the news Sunday.

Hand led Major League Baseball with 16 saves in 2020 for Cleveland. The three-time All-Star went 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 29 strikeouts in 22.0 innings.

The 30-year-old has been in MLB since 2011 when he got the call to join the then-Florida Marlins. He stayed in South Florida until 2015 before the San Diego Padres claimed him off waivers in 2016.
