Gio Gonzalez has agreed to a contract extension with the Washington Nationals just three weeks after the left-hander was acquired in a trade with the Oakland Athletics.
The Nationals said Sunday the deal runs though the 2016 season and includes options for two more years. Gonzalez had filed for arbitration on Friday.
The 26-year-old Gonzalez went 16-12 last season - a career high for wins - with a 3.12 ERA in 32 starts and was selected to his first All-Star game. He has reached 200 innings the past two seasons.
He was acquired in a six-player deal with Oakland on Dec. 23, giving the Nationals a promising rotation that also includes right-handers Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann.
