Nelson Cruz isn't ready to give up the longball just yet.
The veteran slugger agreed to a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals on Sunday, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, with Cruz coming back for his 18th MLB season.
Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported the deal includes a mutual option.
This comes one day after Enrique Rojas of ESPN reported the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers were among eight teams pursuing the slugger. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported Sunday morning that Cruz was expected to decide between the Dodgers and Padres.
