The Nationals agreed to one-year contracts with Anthony Rendon, Tanner Roark and Michael A. Taylor on Friday, thus avoiding arbitration.
Rendon, coming off an MVP-caliber season, agreed to terms on a $12.3 million contract for 2018. Roark will receive $6.475 million and Taylor will get $2.525 million.
Rendon made $5.8 million in arbitration last season, but he earned a considerable raise after hitting .300 with 25 home runs and 100 RBIs in his most consistent and productive season over five years.
Roark, 31, went 13-11 with a 4.67 ERA in 181 1/3 innings for Washington while earning $4.
