For what it's worth, Elliott on DC101 was talking on the radio this morning about the Harper situation and said he heard the Nats pulled their $300M offer off the table and told Boras they are starting from $0 now (and that the GMs know they are not negotiating against a $300M offer anymore.) Not sure how much of a reliable source that is, but Elliott is pretty tuned in with the Caps and has contacts/sources in that area so who knows - maybe it is credible intel? Maybe it's BS...
Also, for some time now an ace in the hole for the Nats was Bryce's brother Bryan - who was in the Nats system and potentially pretty close to making it to the show (before TJ surgery sidetracked him). He was recovering all last year and could have a shot to crack in this season and if Bryce ever wanted the chance to play with his bro again (in the bigs) he would have to pick the Nats...well that theory is shot because it looks like Bryan elected for free agency this past November and is no longer in the Nats farm system...might be a telling sign that Bryce has no intentions of returning to DC (and possible has known this since November)?? Or it could be a totally different set of circumstances that means nothing...
