Stephen Strasburg has signed a "significant long-term extension" with the Nationals, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Chelsea Janes

Official announcement of the extension is expected tomorrow, according to that person. Terms, as yet, unclear.

Don't know credible she is. I hope it isn't true.

Edit: Looking like it's true. 7/200+ has to be the floor.

A Boras guy signed with FA coming up in a couple of months? Strasburg must of really wanted to stay with Nats

That or the nats must have given him an insane contract offer.

7 years $175m with opt outs per Jon Heyman

Jon Heyman

strasburg deal is $175M, 7 years. #nats

That's lower than I expected. Dude really likes Washington.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

$175m/7yrs doesn't seem that insane to me. Maybe it is for someone with his injury history

Given the circumstances, that would be extremely shocking.

Seems fair. Have to wait to see how the contract breaks down.

It will be interesting to see what year he can opt out.

It isn't. If he stays healthy all season long, he would have topped $200 million.

I'm shocked that a Boras client signed an extension months before hitting free agency.

 

[GK86]

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman

strasburg deal expected to include opts out

 

[CygnusXS]

Consider me extremely shocked. Not only because he's a Boras client, but also because the next FA class is barren for pitching. It was Strasburg and then nobody.

Next best pitcher on the market is Rich Hill.

 

[jbug617]

Next best pitcher on the market is Rich Hill.

I think Clay Bucholz is a FA also lol.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal

Source: Strasburg deal includes opt-out after year three or four.

 

[JABEE]

Consider me extremely shocked. Not only because he's a Boras client, but also because the next FA class is barren for pitching. It was Strasburg and then nobody.

He's afraid of getting injured and he can opt out of the deal at 30-31.

 

[GK86]

So...does that mean Harvey signs an extension?

 

[Malo]

Wilpons got their money back from Madoff?

 

[CygnusXS]

He's afraid of getting injured and he can opt out of the deal at 30-31.

I definitely understand the appeal of getting a guarantee now, it's still just not something I was expecting.

 

[jbug617]

I wonder when will Beane will shop Gray. They can get a huge haul for him.

 

[Malo]

Joel Sherman

Strasburg deal has rolling opt out after yrs 3 and 4. Has $7M possible in bonuses, $1M for 180IP in each season of 7-yr deal #Nationals

I wonder when will Beane will shop Gray. They can get a huge haul for him.

This upcoming off-season will be the best time to do it.

 

[Malo]

Double post.

 

[GK86]

I wonder when will Beane will shop Gray. They can get a huge haul for him.

He might be broken:

Susan Slusser ‏@susanslusser

Sonny Gray leaves after 3 2/3 innings, Fernando Rodriguez takes over. Over his past 12 2/3 innings, Gray has allowed 17 runs.


Edit:

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman

with strasburg off board: among better FA SP: dickey, cashner, niese, weaver, medlen (team options on gio, garcia, hammel)

 

[CosmicQueso]

Against Kersh? Just give him an L already.

Who gives a shit about wins and losses when it's Bartolo Colon vs Kershaw? Holy crap that's the matchup of the decade right there.

You Dodger fans can't ever just sit back and enjoy the game for what it is when it presents you this gift? It has to only be about the W and Ls?

I've seen Nolan, Tom Seaver, Gaylord, Quisenberry, Tanana in his slop throwing heyday, Maddux, Steve Carlton, etc etc and I don't remember who won any of those games. I just remember witnessing greatness.

But not greatness can top 2016 Bartolo Colon. Dudes the definition of majesty.

If you can't see that, I just feel sorry for you. You're dead inside.

The Niese trade was such fucking trash. On paper, and in reality. We could have brought up some scrub from AAA to give up home runs like hotcakes, instead of trading away a serviceable infielder.

This is where being a low spender really hurts. Slim margins for error.

Ryan Zimmerman redemption time.


poop

 

[lazybones18]

just as planned

 

[Dominican Power]

Hosmer wishes he can play YS half of the time.

hold on to Teheran until the offseason.

 

[boxter432]

Heading to NY for work this week, just bought tix for Yankees Royals Wed night... First time to Yankee stadium!

 

[BFIB]

So signing Strasburg, that means so long Harper. Unless it's anot opt out every year.

Rolling opt-out after years 3 and 4.

 

[CygnusXS]

hold on to Teheran until the offseason.

Then package him and Freeman together for half of the Red Sox's farm system.

I think harper was gone regardless.

Then package him and Freeman together for half of the Red Sox's farm system.

The entire farm system. Plus free mustard hot dogs for a year.

 

[rando14]

Best possible pitcher this upcoming offseason, if he's even posted, gonna be Otani

Congrats to the Yanks. Chris Young as a MLB starter...in 2016.

Tough injury for Simmons - will be tough to get him back this season. Similar injury to Pedroia, others, so long term prog is good.
