Backup infielder Stephen Drew has agreed to a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals, the team announced Thursday, after Drew passed his physical.
The Nationals did not disclose the financial terms, but multiple reports say Drew will make $3.5 million in 2017, with a chance to earn up to $1.25 million more in performance bonuses tied to the number of games he plays.
Drew, who turns 34 in March, hit .266 with 8 homers and 21 RBIs in 143 at-bats over 70 games last season. That includes 31 starts, spread out among second base, third base, shortstop and designated hitter.
