WASHINGTON — Free-agent first baseman Adam Lind and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a $1.5-million, one-year contract, pending a physical, according to a person familiar with the deal.
The person confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Monday because it had not been announced by the Nationals.
The contract would pay Lind $1 million in 2017, and includes a club option for 2018 with a $500,000 buyout.
The terms were reported earlier by The Washington Post.
Lind, who is 33, batted .239 with 20 homers and 58 RBIs for the Seattle Mariners last season.
