Bryce Harper is now officially a free agent, meaning he can gauge his value on the open market. However, recent Washington Nationals rumors say he turned down one last attempt from the Nats stop him hitting free agency.
According to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post, the team made an “aggressive offer” for Harper, after negotiating with his agent Scott Boras throughout September. There are no figures mentioned, but the sum of the offer was less than $400 million and the deal had no opt-outs.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports then reported that the offer was for around $30 million per season.
