Nationals' Franklyn Kilome: Signs minor-league deal

Kilome signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday.

Kilome made 21 appearances (five starts) for Triple-A Syracuse last year and posted a 3.91 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 46 innings. He'll presumably report to Triple-A Rochester and is unlikely to be a significant major-league contributor for the Nationals this year.
