According to multiple reports on Sunday night, the Washington Nationals and 27-year-old infielder Wilmer Difo agreed on a 1-year/$1M deal for 2020, avoiding arbitration.

Difo was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, accruing three years service time in his fifth season in the majors while playing on a 1-year/$581,100 deal.

Difo played 124 games in the majors in 2017, and spent the entire 2018 campaign with the big league club, but he was optioned to Triple-A Fresno this past May, after putting up a .231/.301/.298 line with two doubles and two home runs in 39 games (33 starts) and 134 plate appearances for the Nationals at the beginning of the season.
