Nationals agreed to terms with shortstop Cristian Guzman on a two-year contract extension through 2010.
Hooray? Guzman has been an above average regular this year, and though he's been around forever, he's still only 30 years old. On the other hand, his declining steal totals suggest that he's an old 30 and if he finishes this year with more than 120 games played and a 700 OPS, he'd be doing it for the first time in his career. It's just a two-year deal and it was going to be a barren shortstop market this winter, so it's probably not a bad move, pending the dollars.
