The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Dominic Smith, the team announced Wednesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed but a source told ESPN on Tuesday that Smith will be paid $2 million for the 2023 season, confirming multiple reports.

Right-hander A.J. Alexy was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Smith, 27, provides the Nationals an experienced left-handed hitter who can contribute at first base, left field or designated hitter.

Smith was non-tendered by the New York Mets around the middle of November on the heels of a rough 2022 season that ended in the minor leagues.
