AP Source: Strasburg, Nats agree to deal adding $175M (Yahoo Sports)

A person familiar with the negotiations says that Stephen Strasburg has agreed to a new contract with the Washington Nationals that will pay the pitcher $175 million over seven seasons starting in 2017. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday night - while Strasburg was pitching against the Detroit Tigers - because the Nationals had not announced the deal. Strasburg would have been eligible for free agency for the first time after this season.
