As expected, the Washington Nationals did not offer a contract to outfielder Ben Revere for 2017 of Friday afternoon. The fifth-year player was projected by MLB Trade Rumors to make $6.3 million next year.
In a minor surprise, the Nats extended a contract offer to beleaguered shortstop Danny Espinosa. The subject of many rumors regarding his status this week, Washington—for now—will keep him. His return is estimated at $5.3 million.
Bryce Harper, Tanner Roark and Anthony Rendon earned deals for next year. The Nationals and players hope to avoid arbitration and settle before hearings happen.
