Reports: Nats agree to deal with catcher Kurt Suzuki

The Washington Nationals have agreed to a two-year contract with free-agent catcher Kurt Suzuki, according to multiple reports.

The news was first reported by MLB.com.

Suzuki played for the Nationals for parts of the 2012 and '13 seasons, hitting .239 with eight home runs and 50 RBIs in 122 games. He was acquired by the Nationals from the Oakland Athletics in 2012 and then traded back to the A's in 2013.

Suzuki, who turned 35 after the season, is coming off the best two offensive seasons of his career with the Atlanta Braves and is strong defensively.
