UPDATE: The salary structure is kind of odd.

No, it's not odd for the Nats.  They've done this with every signing in the last 2 years.   They're poor, trying hard to to win a title for an aging owner, and are hoping the MASN thing works itself out.  If it doesn't this team is going to be so bad for years with all of the deferred money they've promised.

They're poor?  I know masn has a bunch of their money tied up, but I don't know that I'd consider the Lerners poor.

i dont get it.. i thought they had been a big spending team.. although i gave the lerners a lot of flak for being stingy in the past  i thought they had made a good effort...

KILLEBREW, Patrick, "Pat," age 68, passed away peacefully at home, June 20, 2017, after watching the Washington Nationals relief pitchers blow yet another lead. Beloved father and husband, longtime attorney, former U.S. Navy Navigator and avid baseball fan and player. Join in a celebration of his life July 2, 6 to 8 p.m., at the SCA Clubhouse, 9601 Redbridge Rd., 23236. In lieu of flowers, send "donations" to the "Nationals Bullpen Fund."

Went to JZimms no no last year and went to Mad Max's this year haha. Oh man. Talk about luck! The crowd was ON FIRE from about the 7th inning on.

Took my dad for father's day. He was stoked after I explained it to him lol. Took my gf last year and she didn't know/care and same with my dad. Hopefully I can see another one with someone who cares about sports history!

The first time we ever went on a family vacation to St. Petersburg, Zimmerman threw the Nats first no-hitter on our second day there.

The second time we ever went on a family vacation to St Petersburg, Scherzer throws a no-hitter on our first night there.

If the Nats want a third no-hitter, they're obviously going to need to fund a family vacation to Florida for us.

Do you guys remember when I went on a family vacation to St Petersburg, FL?

I guess the Angles Brass really like Meyer.

Meyer seems to be that perennial "young talent" that GM's and scouts love, he's been consistently on Baseball America's top 100 prospects list since he was drafted by the Nats.... meanwhile, he's now 26 and still hasn't had a modicum of success at the big league level when given the chance so we'll see how he does in his 3rd organization in 3 years....

Meyer finally started for the Angels last night.  Just as described - hard thrower with little control.  He was better than his numbers (4.0 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 4K) but he will be frustrating to watch for a while.

But not NEARLY as frustrating to watch as Danny Espinosa.  Hoya warned me that he was not my kind of ball player, but my god how did Nats fans stand him for 6 seasons?  He's definitely not Scioscia's type either with the lack of contact he makes.  Not sure how he's tolerating it and I'm not sure how many more times I can watch him hit.

Meyer found his control and was nearly unhittable.

Espinosa was cut.

Sounds about right.
