Nationals' Mike Rizzo Says Patrick Corbin Deal 'Independent' from Bryce Harper

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo suggested Friday that the team's signing of starting pitcher Patrick Corbin has nothing to do with its pursuit of outfielder Bryce Harper.

According to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post, Rizzo said, "I think they're independent of each other. I really do."

Washington reportedly agreed to a six-year, $140 million deal with Corbin this week, while Harper remains unsigned.
