To a one year tender offer for about 3 million. This was pretty much expected.

Wilkerson Agrees to One-Year Deal with Nationals

Brad Wilkerson agreed to a one-year, $3.05 million contract Thursday with the Washington Nationals.

Wilkerson hit .255 with 32 home runs, 67 RBIs, 112 runs scored and 13 stolen bases last season and was voted the team's MVP. He played 78 games at first base and 76 in the outfield and was frequently used as the leadoff hitter. He led the majors with nine first-inning home runs. Wilkerson had 72 home runs and 208 RBIs in four seasons in Montreal.

Wilkerson would have been eligible for arbitration had he not agreed to terms. His signing leaves three arbitration-eligible players on the Nationals roster: first baseman Nick Johnson and pitchers Tony Armas Jr. and Tomo Ohka.
