the washington nationals agreed to terms on a deal with free agent catcher matt wieters on tuesday, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation. the deal is for one year with a 2018 option, and will pay wieters $10 million this season and $11 million next, should wieters exercise the option. five million of this year’s salary will be deferred through the 2021 season. The deal is not official, and is pending a physical. Assuming all goes well, the signing finally grounds the former baltimore staple after he spent this offseason in an unexpected holding pattern, and it changes the complexion of the nationals’ winter dramatically.
