Nats finalize deal with infielder Kennedy
Adam Kennedy - 3B - Washington Nationals
Feb. 5, 2010 - 1:55 PM ET
Nationals signed 2B Adam Kennedy to a one-year, $1.25 million contract with a $2 million club option for 2011.
Kennedy, 34, batted .289/.348/.410 with 11 homers and 29 doubles in 529 at-bats last season for the A's. He played all around the infield in Oakland, but will man second base primarily for the Nationals this season. That is, until top infield prospect Ian Desmond comes along. NL-only leaguers may be able to get some use out of Kennedy for the first few months of 2010.
