Corey Dickerson has finalized a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Washington Nationals.

The Nationals have finished in last place in each of the last three seasons.

"I always feed off negative emotion," Dickerson said. "I've always been an underdog. I've always had that chip on my shoulder. That's the way I play. I feel like I kind of lost that chip for the last couple years trying to please and mold to people's needs a little bit, and this year I'm going to try to definitely help my teammates but really put that chip back on my shoulder and be able to play with the emotion I need to."

The 34-year-old played for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2022, hitting .267 with six homers and 36 RBIs in 96 games.
