The Nationals and pitcher Stephen Strasburg have agreed to terms on a deal, thereby avoiding arbitration, the team announced Friday. Terms of the deal were not revealed in the announcement.
Strasburg underwent surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow in October, but he is expected to be ready for spring training. He went 8-9 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 191:56 K:BB ratio in 183 innings over 30 starts last season.
