![]() Of course it's in the Nationals' interest to have the public know that they offered Bryce Harper $300 million over 10 years - that's an eye-popping amount of money that isn't totally out of Harper's ballpark and gives fans the impression that the Nats are committed to bringing him back. With all that in mind, it's pretty clear how empty the offer really is. Committing to players, even of Harper's stature, for 10 years just doesn't happen anymore (outside the Marlins, who were almost-universally panned for pretending to comit to Stanton for 14 years). Opt-outs are all the rage in contract building these days, and 26-year-old Harper will surely want a chance to hit the open market again for the infamous 2nd-contract in 3-4 years.
