After opting out of the 2020 MLB season, first baseman is reportedly returning to the diamond.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Zimmerman and the Nationals are expected to agree on a one-year, $1 million deal.
Should a deal wind up being finalized, the Nationals will once again have the greatest player in franchise history back on the roster.
Zimmerman was the first pick in Nationals history when he was drafted fourth overall in 2005. He made his MLB debut that September and became an everyday player for the team the following year.
