Scott Boras confirmed on Monday that Stephen Strasburg isn't active in extension talks with the Washington Nationals as Spring Training approaches.

"We amicably agreed to a one-year deal (for 2016)," Boras said. "He's going to pitch, and we'll see where it goes from there. It's something we'll be discussing at the end of the year."

Strasburg is expected to be the top pitcher on the free-agent market next winter.

"The Nationals have done a great job with him," Boras said. "They've listened to the doctors, and all you can ask of a team is that they listen to the doctors. They have. Stephen and the team have benefited from that."
