WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Former All-Star infielder Paul DeJong and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract.
DeJong can earn an additional $600,000 in performance bonuses.
An All-Star in 2019, DeJong hit .227 with 24 homers and 56 RBIs last year for the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City, which acquired him on July 30.
He has a .229 average with 140 homers and 400 RBIs in eight seasons with St. Louis (2017-23), Toronto (2023), San Francisco (2023), the White Sox and Royals.
The Nationals announced the agreement Sunday. Right-hander Josiah Gray was placed on the 60-day injured list.
