The Washington Nationals are adding power to the lineup — and bringing back a familiar face.
The Nationals agreed to contracts with designated hitter Nelson Cruz and reliever Sean Doolittle — their latest deals in what’s been a busy period for the team since the lockout has ended.
Cruz, 41, agreed to sign a one-year, $15 million contract with a mutual option for 2023, while Doolittle plans to sign a major league contract., according to reports.
Despite his age, Cruz has remained productive over the past few years and even earned an All-Star appearance in 2021.
