Nationals' Morse agrees to multiyear deal (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? The Washington Nationals have signed outfielder/infielder Mike Morse to a multiyear contract extension, thus avoiding salary arbitration, the Major League Baseball (MLB) said on Friday.

Contract terms were not announced, but Washington media reported the deal was for two years for Morse, who had been asking for $5 million.

Morse, 29, led the Nationals in batting (.303 average), home runs (31) and runs batted in (95) last season.
