Nats Taken Back by Bryce Harper's Extension Request

"Harper, according to the executive, is asking for a record deal that will exceed 10 years in length, and likely pay him in excess of $400 million."

One other thing: Trout is not represented by Scott Boras.  Have fun!

If he has another season like this last one they sure will!

White Sox rob the Nats...should have just kept Espinosa n kept Turner in center rather than losing those future pitching studs.

And they're counting on a guy who hit .186 last year to replace Ramos? Not impressed with offseason so far.

That's a Duquette special - anticipating a bounce back year and getting a player on the cheap.  I guess $4M is cheap.  I really don't know anymore.

Wieters 2 years $21M

Wieters 2 years $21M

I'm shocked he got more than one year ($10m/17 and $11m/18).  Even more surprised HE can opt out after year one.

I thought one year, $15m for sure.

nats sign joe blanton.. 1 year

UPDATE: The salary structure is kind of odd. Barry Svrluga of the Washington Post reports that Blanton will get only $1 million in 2017, plus some incentives, and will have $1 million deferred to 2018 and $2 million deferred to 2019.
