If the Washington Nationals have their way, Bryce Harper will never hit free agency next winter.
In an unusual move for the team, general manager Mike Rizzo told Joel Sherman of the New York Post his desires to get talks moving with Scott Boras.
“I am not going to assume he is that kind of Boras client that gets out into the marketplace. I feel like I have a great relationship with Bryce and his family since he was 16 [Harper was the first overall pick by the Nats in 2010].
