Nats, Zimmerman agree to 1 year, $3.325M (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and the Washington Nationals agreed to a $3.325 million, one-year deal for 2009, avoiding arbitration. Zimmerman was the last player in the major leagues scheduled for an arbitration hearing. His was to take place Friday in Arizona, which is why he missed Washington's first full-squad workout of spring training Thursday.
