The Washington Nationals are going to be big players in the pursuit of their homegrown star Bryce Harper. But before they can aggressively kick the tires, the front office is going to have to make some key decisions about their quest for the outfielder.
After six incredibly successful seasons in the nation’s capital, Harper is set to be the highest profile free agent in the sport this winter. The Nats have made no secret in their desire to at least to at least try to keep the superstar outfielder.
General Manager Mike Rizzo declared “Of course he’s in our plans”, just before the Nats’ season finale in Colorado last month.
