Nationals Agree With Eddie Rosario On Split Contract
9 months agoThe Washington Nationals agreed with free-agent outfielder Eddie Rosario on a split contract on Wednesday. The deal could earn Rosario up to $4 million in 2024 with incentives. The deal is pending a physical, according to sources. The 32-year-old veteran outfielder has a good shot of cracking Washington's major-league roster in the midst of their rebuild, and he could be on the strong side of a platoon in the outfield or at designated hitter while facing right-handed pitching. His signing is bad news for both the left-handed-hitting Jesse Winker and right-handed-hitting Stone Garrett, who is coming of a serious leg injury in 2023. Rosario played in 142 games with Atlanta last year and hit .255/.305/.450 with 21 homers and 74 RBI in 516 plate appearances. He'll be an option for outfield depth for his power in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues if he's playing regularly in D.C.
