The Nats have been saying all along that they are willing to take the 31b draft pick next year if they cant sign Smoker. Their constantly repeating that fact leads me to believe they wont be signing Smoker at all. Come August 16th (the days the clock runs out for signing either one any unsigned draft picks) the Nats will say that McGreary was too demanding during negotiations and that they were too far apart with Smoker and will take the 31b draft pick next summer...
