WASHINGTON (AP) Tyler Moore and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a $900,000, one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.

The deal came ahead of Wednesday night's deadline for teams to offer contracts to unsigned players on their 40-man rosters.

The Nationals also avoided arbitration with backup catcher Jose Lobaton by agreeing to a $1,387,500 deal for 2016. Lobaton hit .199 last season.

Moore hit .203 with six homers, 27 RBIs and 45 strikeouts in a career-high 187 at-bats last season for the Nationals.
