WASHINGTON -- This week, the Nationals officially revealed their report dates for Spring Training, with pitchers and catchers set to head to West Palm Beach, Fla., by Feb. 13. Outfielder Adam Eaton even got a head start and arrived at the team's complex on Thursday. The countdown to baseball's return has officially started.
Washington has already been perhaps the most active team in the Majors this offseason, and its slate of moves has so far culminated in reaching an agreement to sign second baseman Brian Dozier on Thursday. Yet there is still one major domino to fall: Bryce Harper remains unsigned and on the minds of Nationals fans, with a little more than a month to go before the team's first workout.
