I thought there was a chance we could lock something down this offseason, but now, freak it, he's gone. We can't trade him because we'll get absolute crap in return, and because with him we can win a world series this year (but won't).
In classic DC/Nats fashion, we have a great situation that ends up blowing up in our faces and freaking us in the worst way. With our luck, he'll sign with the Phillies or Orioles or some crap and terrorize us for a decade.
I get we've been disappointed, but man some of you look at the absolute worst case scenario for everything. We can win a World Series in 2018, and we have no idea the chances of resigning Harper. Everybody assumed Strasburg would walk. Yes, it's possible we don't win the World Series and Harper signs elsewhere. It's also possible we do win it and then he leaves. Or we don't win it but he resigns and he wins one down the line. Let's not assume the worst.
