Former Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario has reached an agreement with the Washington Nationals on a contract for the 2023 season, sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
The deal is for $5 million with an opportunity to earn $1 million more in performance bonuses, a source told ESPN.
Candelario, 29, was non-tendered by Detroit earlier this month, making him a free agent after he compiled a career-low .633 OPS in 2022. He’ll have a chance to rebuild his value in Washington, where the Nationals are in the early portion of a rebuilding phase.

1. Der-K's no Kliph Nesteroff. Posted: November 29, 2022 at 05:09 PM (#6107244)i've never been a candelario believer, but he was good in 20-21 and projections have him as a roughly league average player. while that would be worth more than the contract he got - i'm pessimistic and he lacks tactical value, so this seems good for a stopgap.
