Dec. 9 (UPI) -- The Washington Nationals re-signed All-Star pitcher Stephen Strasburg to a seven-year deal, the team announced Monday.
League sources told ESPN and MLB Media that Strasburg's contract is worth a record-setting $245 million. The agreement surpasses the previous record for a pitcher's contract, set by David Price when he signed a seven-year, $217 million deal with the Boston Red Sox in December 2015.
