With a little over a month until free agency opens, the Washington Nationals have offered All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos a contract “somewhere in the range of $30 million over three years” according to Fanrag Sports’ Jon Heyman. Ramos reportedly denied the offer, as the 29-year old backstop is apparently seeking a much larger deal.
In a thin free agent market where Ramos’s biggest adversaries will be Matt Wieters and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, it is no surprise that the Venezuelan native would turn down the offer.
