Strasburg has avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $10.4 million deal with the Nationals on Friday, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.

Strasburg's career hasn't exactly gone has planned thus far, but he still possesses the talent to serve as the ace of a pitching staff. He and Max Scherzer will lead the rotation for the Nats in 2016, Strasburg's last year before he will be able to test the waters of free agency.
