You’re taxed where your income is earned (one of the reasons holding shares in an s Corp can be more trouble than its worth). Most metro areas have agreements so that, while you may pay a commuter tax, you don’t have to pay income tax in multiple states.
the thing is, DC works the opposite. You work in DC, live in VA, you pay VA income taxes, not DC.
Mark Feinsand@FeinsandSource: Posting agreement is done. Ohtani will be coming to the Majors.
Is there a reason he couldn’t demand an opt out in any contract he signs?
Since he's under 25 and doesn't have 6 years of service in Japan, he is subject to the arbitration timeline. So he can't become a free agent until 2024. Otherwise he could have signed a Tanaka-like contract in 2020. But he didn't want to wait. It's absolutely bonkers to me.
Does this mean he gets the small bonus and then MLB minimum for 3 years before 3 rounds of arbitration?
There is a chance, however, that the race for Otani isn’t as wide open as it seems. A big-market team like the Yankees could sign him for lint this summer, and then simply hand him a huge extension just a few months into his rookie year. That would likely spark a fight with the league, but given the kind of singular talent Otani has, it would be a fight worth having.
nats have 0% chance at this guyanyone who thinks otherwise is delusional
I live in DC and work in Maryland, but pay DC taxes. It would be the opposite if it were switched. The fact that DC isn’t allowed to tax it’s commuters is a huge sore spot.
Apparently, when asked who he looks up to in MLB, he mentions Ichiro and Darvish. Then .... Bryce Harper. Apparently watches a lot of film of Bryce. Question is, if he's infatuated with Harper, who does that possibly help? Nats, or some other team???
Considering that Harper isn't going to be a National after next season's NLDS exit, pretty sure that helps 29 other teams.
You know it's quotes like this which make me believe we need to change the culture of this team. If the fans expect us to lose out in the 1st round then I'm sure the players think it as well. After all they are humans too. The pressure must be insane. It's almost expected that if we make the playoffs we will choke.Werth leaving is a start. I'd be all for trading Zimmerman and Harper as well. 4 years and this core group has got to the playoffs with the exact same results. Bring in fresh players who haven't been mentally defeated for 3 postseasons. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I have to say, the article quoting Rizzo about trying to sell the Nats on the city and team success despite only having 300k left to spend is one of the most pathetic things I have read in a long time.
