Corey Dickerson, a 33-year-old, McComb, Mississippi-born outfielder, who signed a one-year/$2.25M contract with the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, was in Jackson, MS out golfing with father-in-law when he joined reporters on a Zoom call to discuss the deal he took from the rebooting ballclub in the nation’s capital.
The 10-year MLB veteran spent the 2022 campaign in St. Louis, Missouri, playing 97 games for the Cardinals and putting up a .267/.300/.399 line, 17 doubles, and six home runs in his 297 plate appearances, over which he was worth 0.4 WAR.
The Cards were the outfielder’s seventh big league team, and he finished the ‘22 season with 9+ years of service time in the majors, but he said on Tuesday afternoon he still has plenty to offer and something to prove as he heads into his 10th MLB campaign.
