Harpers contract actually ends after this year 2016. He does have 2 years of Salary Arb coming up but lets be honest the Nats have no chance of winning either of those fights and they know it.

ha, no fucking chance in the world...then if that's the case, 10 for 500 makes pretty decent sense (and you know boras' ego isn't going to let him ask for anything less than half a billy)...that would let them buy out his final 2 arb years and get him locked up...think the angels did this with trout...talk about a contract that is a fucking steal...think he's 7/140? that will make up for the back half of the pujols contract...

I mean the 10/500 is like 175 more than the Stanton deal, so it's gonna be an overpay but think that having relatively no dead time on the contract probably offsets some of that...
