WASHINGTON (AP) -Adam Dunn has a new team, and the Washington Nationals have a new cleanup hitter.
The Nationals will hold a news conference at their stadium Thursday to introduce Dunn, a free agent who agreed to a $20 million, two-year deal.
The contract will pay Dunn $8 million in 2009, and $12 million in 2010.
Dunn, a first baseman and outfielder, hit a combined .236 with 40 homers, 100 RBIs and 164 strikeouts last season with the Reds and Diamondbacks. He hit at least 40 homers and struck out at least 164 times in each of the past five seasons.
The 2008 Nationals hit 117 homers – ranking 15th of 16 NL teams – while finishing with the worst record in the major leagues at 59-102.
