Veteran infielder Paul DeJong, who hit 24 HRs last year, agrees to 1 year, $1 million contract with the Washington Nationals
Most were surprised by the deal since DeJong had a solid season in 2024 split between the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals as he finished with 24 homeruns and 56 RBIs.
Clearly the Nationals made a great move in signing DeJong as he fills that third base role for them and also brings in some solid offense while still being relatively young.
It will be interesting to see how he does next season with the Nationals after coming off of one of his best offensive years of his career.
