Nationals add Corbin to deep starting staff

All-star pitcher Patrick Corbin has agreed to a six-year contract with the Washington Nationals, pending a physical exam. The left-handed Corbin, who left the Arizona Diamondbacks, joins a Nationals starting rotation that already includes three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg. The 29-year-old Corbin is coming off his best season in the majors, going 11-7 with a 3.15 ERA while pitching 200 innings for the second time in his career. He was considered the top starter available in an elite free-agent class highlighted by Nationals rightfielder Bryce Harper.
