CJ Abrams News: Settles with Nationals

The Nationals and Abrams avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.2 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

It's a well-earned raise for Abrams, who was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. Abrams put together a .257/.315/.433 batting line with 19 home runs and 31 stolen bases for the Nationals this past season.
