WASHINGTON -- Nationals right-handers Stephen Strasburg and Drew Storen avoided arbitration Friday by signing one-year deals for the 2015 season. Strasburg will make $7.4 million, while Storen will earn $5.7 million, baseball sources confirmed to MLB.com.
Washington's Opening Day starter the past three seasons, Strasburg, 26, was in his second year of arbitration eligibility.
 
Nationals avoid arbitration with Strasburg, Storen
 
He is coming off arguably his best season, winning 14 games and tying for the NL lead with 242 strikeouts.
Storen was also in his second year of arbitration eligibility. The right-hander recaptured the closer role the last month of the 2014 season, saving 10 games without allowing an earned run.
With Strasburg and Storen signed, the Nationals have two players -- Doug Fister and Jerry Blevins -- who are eligible for arbitration.
