JANUARY 11, 2021 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Signs with Nationals Schwarber signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Nationals on Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Schwarber's deal is dependent on him passing a physical, but he should play left field for the Nationals in 2021 with Juan Soto moving to right. The 27-year-old was non-tendered by the Cubs after a disappointing season in which he slashed .188/.308/.393 with 11 home runs and 24 RBI. He'll attempt to right the ship in Washington after averaging 31.3 home runs per season over the three years leading up to 2020.

Non-tendered by Cubs Schwarber was non-tendered by the Cubs on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact All signs point to the Cubs embracing a rebuild, so they opted not to pay a left fielder/designated hitter for past performance in arbitration. He has always mashed righties, but probably fits best as a DH who can sit against southpaws. Schwarber hit .188 in 224 plate appearances last season, but he hit .250/.339/.531 with 38 home runs in 2019 and is only turning 28 in March.

Hits 11th home run Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact Schwarber hit his 11th home run of the season in the second inning against White Sox starter Dylan Cease. The slugger is still batting under .200 for the year, so it's really been an all-or-nothing type campaign. He should continue to get regular playing time in left field heading into the playoffs next week.
