MLB Rumors: Free agent Kyle Schwarber and the Washington Nationals have reportedly agreed to terms on a one year deal worth $10 million. The free agent outfielder/DH was non-tendered by the Chicago Cubs in early December, due to their not wanting to pay him the estimated $7-8 million Schwarber was expected to get in free agency.
Schwarber was selected #4 overall in the 2014 draft by the Cubs out of the University of Indiana. An offense-first catcher with a lot of questions about his ability to stay behind the plate, he was not expected to go nearly that high in the draft, and the Cubs signed him to a well-below-slot deal that allowed them to apply the savings to, among other things, signing 6th rounder Dylan Cease, who got $1.5 million to sign as a sixth round pick, established himself as a top 100 prospect, and now is with the Chicago White Sox (who acquired Cease in the Jose Quintana trade).
