Move over, Max Scherzer. You’re not the only major-league vet making his way back to the National League East.
That’s right. After a two-year hiatus, former Phillies second baseman César Hernández is on his way back to the division he called home for the first seven seasons of his major-league career.
Hernández signed a one-year deal with the NL East’s Washington Nationals — Scherzer’s old club — as announced by the club on Tuesday night. The contract guarantees him $4 million with a chance for $1 million in incentives, Jon Heyman of MLB Network and Audacy Sports reported.
