One with logic. The Nats arent going to outbid. Only reason he comes here is if he is too broken and knows it.
the thought was that he's not going to get the contract he wants so he will take a 1 year contract for what remains on the market. If he's there in February, and a sale is through or close enough, I could see a minimal bid. 1 year, $12 million might get it done, if the guesstimates here are right:https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-top-50-free-agents/. That's less than what they guaranteed Nelson Cruz. But I suspect the priority will be to bring in a guy who they can write in for 150 innings.
