WASHINGTON (AP) — Catcher Kurt Suzuki is heading back to the Washington Nationals after finalizing a $10 million, two-year contractThe 35-year-old gets $4 million next year and $6 million in 2020, up from $3.5 million last season, his second with the Atlanta Braves.He became a free agent after batting .271 with 12 homers and 50 RBIs in 2018 as Atlanta won the NL East ahead of the second-place Nationals. The agreement was finalized Tuesday, after he passed a physical.Suzuki played for Washington in 2012 and 2013, part of a 12-year major league career in which he has been with four clubs and batted .258 with 114 home runs and 619 RBIs.He made the AL All-Star team in 2014 while with the Minnesota Twins.A right-handed hitter, Suzuki could wind up as part of a platoon at catcher for the Nationals, who have been in the market for help at that position after Matt Wieters batted under .240 in each of the past two seasons there.Washington is coming off an 82-80 season, its first under manager Dave Martinez, following two consecutive division titles and first-round playoff exits.So far, Washington's offseason moves have centered on the bullpen, including exercising up closer Sean Doolittle's option and signing former St. Louis Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal.The Nationals are also expected to seek help for their starting rotation as well as a new second baseman.The biggest question of all that looms over the next few months, of course, is what will happen with outfielder Bryce Harper, the 2015 NL MVP who is a free agent.___AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum in New York contributed to this report.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
