Nationals agreed to terms with outfielder Alex Escobar on a one-year, $530,000 contract.

Escobar asked for $590,000 in arbitration, while the Nationals offered $500,000. Since he's still recovering from shoulder surgery, Escobar is not going to be ready to play the outfield at the beginning of the spring, something that could prevent him from moving up the depth chart. He'll likely be the Nationals' fourth or fifth outfielder.
