Tom Boswell (longtime wapo sportswriter) said back in March that nobody will get 300+ anymore, the Stanton deal was it. A Nats player said it too. And that was before his 2018 faceplant.
Also, the Cards would have to give up what he claims is an extra
50-75M in draft picks and intl bonus pool based on the huge value they brought the Nats - who signed all their top prospects from the Dominican for like 400K combined.
Nats already have Easton-Soto-Robles so Harper is going somewhere. Half of MLB is tanking anyway, so who even bids?
1. Asstros
2. Phillies
3. Braves
4. Dodgers
Might as well make him an offer. He won't be getting many.
