Like the rest of the MLB, the Washington Nationals have been pretty quiet all offseason. However, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been rumors swirling around the team.
Due to their exceptional rapport with super-agent Scott Boras, there has been quite a bit of speculation that they will sign one of his many high-profile clients. Although none of these rumors have come to fruition yet, they have been extensively linked to free agent starting pitcher Jake Arrieta.
These rumors could be gaining a little steam, as USA Today’s Bob Nightengale predicted that the Nats would sign Arrieta to a five-year contract worth $120 million.
