The Pi Train: Estrada Signs with the Nationals (NL)

Free agent catcher Johnny Estrada signed a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals for $1.25 Million.  Estrada was traded earlier this offseason from Milwaukee to the New York Mets for Guillermo Mota, and subsequently non-tendered, making him a free agent.  It’s essentially a 2-for-1 swap, as New York traded for Washington C Brian Schneider (and OF Ryan Church in exchange for OF Lastings Milledge), and Washington has signed both Estrada and the Mets’ catcher from 2007, Paul LoDuca.

The Pi Train retains the rights to Estrada, and he remains eligible for protection with a $12 salary for two seasons.
