Nats Lock Up Kearns

[love_that_reefer]

Nationals agreed to terms with outfielder Austin Kearns on a three-year, $17.5 million contract with a club option for 2010.
A little pricier than anticipated, but still a pretty good move for Washington. Kearns will get $3.5 million this year, $5 million in 2008 and $8 million in 2009. The option, which would cover his second year of free agency, is worth $10 million and includes a $1 million buyout. There are no bonus clauses at all in the contract, which makes the guaranteed amount look a little more favorable for Washington.

I know what you're thinking, I can't believe the Nats actually did something this offseason. Now if only Kearns could pitch.
