The Washington Nationals reportedly offered free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper a 10-year deal worth $300 million.
According to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post, that offer did not include any opt-out clauses.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic noted the Nats likely knew Harper wouldn't accept the offer, and he mentioned Washington as a "fallback" for Harper if he doesn't get the deal he wants.
Rosenthal added that Harper is hoping to receive a bigger contract than the 13-year, $325 million deal New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton signed with the Miami Marlins in 2014.
