"Veteran catcher Ivan Rodriguez has agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal with the Nationals, according to MLB.com. The Nationals want a veteran catcher as an insurance policy since Jesus Flores had surgery on his right shoulder and elbow. While Flores is expected to be ready for spring training, Rodriguez can serve as a backup and mentor (ESPN)."
I am really surprised by this. Pudge was rumored to be going to the Giants, and you would think he would have much rather gone there then play for a team that has 0 chance at the playoffs next year. Anyways, Pudge is still serviceable, but I wouldn't trust him being my everyday catcher.
