WASHINGTON -- The Nationals and right-hander Daniel Cabrera have agreed to a one-year contract, pending a physical, according to three baseball sources. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Nats, Cabrera agree to one-year deal | MLB.com: News

Watching him bat 35 games a year should be considered cruel and unusual punishment for Nats fans. As if just watching that team wasn't punishment enough...

I wonder....

…if that will affect Tex’s decision…

i'm sure not only tex's fate

but the fate of the western world hinged on Cabrera’s decision. The dominos will all fall into place now.

That's what I was thinking as well

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

yeah he’s more likely to not sign with the nats now.

What up?

Sounds like a reason to watch the Nats every 5 days

Update

1 year, $2.6 million

less than we would’ve ended up paying via arbitration raise.

Less than we paid last year

And still more than he’s worth. Unless you look at baseball players as entertainers.

The Yankees get Sabathia, the Mets get K-rod, and the Orioles get Ryan Freel.

$2.6 million for a guy that gives you 170-200 innings

is like paying $7.99 for a DVD of a movie you sort of like. It’s really not a big deal at all. $2.6 mil is chump change.

Or

Like someone hacked into your Netflix account and you it took you forever to straighten it out. You got send whatever was on the list, and a couple of the movies were pretty good, but for the most part they sucked.

The Yankees get Sabathia, the Mets get K-rod, and the Orioles get Ryan Freel.
