The Nationals have made an offer to bring free-agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to the nation's capital, according to a report by Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com.

The team has not commented on or confirmed the report.

Washington's offer is said to be for less than the $132.75 million over six years that the Tigers will pay the newly acquired Justin Upton, according to the report.

Cespedes received an offer from the Orioles before they reached an agreement on a seven-year, $161 million contract to retain slugger Chris Davis. Cespedes has also been linked to the Padres, White Sox and Mets recently. The 30-year-old has reportedly been seeking a six-year contract for around $22 million a year.

When is the last time a team's 3 and 4 hitters from the season prior both went to a divisional rival the next year? If any team can have this done to them, it's the Mets.

And both will backfire, because it's the Nats

Mune on the same path back to the Hawks that Wada took.

Knowing Maddon Mune will play every position and slash something incredible.

Heyman says the Nats are pushing to get a deal done with Cespedes. Willing to go 5yrs/$100m or a little more than that.

@DPLennon: Manfred said NL adopting DH is gaining momentum. Expect it to be addressed in upcoming CBA, so could be for '17.

BREAKING: #Rays are close to signing Steve Pearce to a 1-year deal, just pending a physical. Would get DH at-bats, play 1B vs. LHP, some OF

Steve pearce is an interesting 1 yr gamble. Dude has been trash except for last year which is looking like an enormous, ENORMOUS fluke

It's a very "Rays" type of move, if that makes any sense.

Yup, apparently it's a speaking role? That's pretty great.

Apparently Cespedes smokes like a chimney between innings. I don't know how I feel about this.

Gaining 30 a week before spring training

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Maybe the Cubs can sign Heyward for a 9-figure contract with a opt out after three years. Let's use him in his prime for three years and then let someone else overpay him for his declining years.

Well this was a fantastic prediction.

Theo's gaf account?

 

[Corran Horn]

He has lost weight before....always puts it back on.

The Nats had made Cespedes a five-year offer for an unspecified amount, according to major-league sources. The Mets were unwilling to go beyond three years, sources said.

The possibility existed -- and still exists -- that other teams are still involved. But Cespedes also could be wrestling with a more fundamental choice.

According to two sources with knowledge of his thinking, he prefers to stay with the Mets.

 

[Raw64life]

Murphy wanted to stay a Met, but the Mets had no desire to pay to him so he had to go to the Nats. Looks like the same exact thing is gonna happen with Cespedes.

Sources: Mets, Cespedes discussing an opt-out clause after the 1st year of a three-year deal. Would allow him to test market again Fall '16.

man I didnt want Murph, Cespedes I do want though. hopefully this 3 year deal gets done.

 

[Malo]

Cespedes will be 31 next year. I don't see many teams giving him the years he wants, even with next year's fa market being trash.

 

[Choomp]

Same

Pls god

 

[Fox318]

Cespedes would be crazy not to take the nats deal

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Supposedly Cespedes really does want to stay with the Mets. They will discuss a deal today, heres hoping it gets done.

 

[Beckx]

Bleh. Here I am bracing for two feet of snow meanwhile the Fighters are getting geared up for camp in Arizona.
