Rumor: Nationals and Strasburg

[mredsox89]

ESPNNEWS has reported that there are no indications that the Nationals will sign Strasburg by the August 17th deadline. Not exactly sure if they have been told it won't happen or if just no progress has been made.

Which probably means Boras will take Strasburg over to Japan so that he can be part of the 2010?? or 11?? Free Agent Class so he goes to a team like NYY, BOS, or NYM like he said he planned to do the whole time

He will sign. Believe it.

He will sign. Believe it.

I agree with that. Just figured I would make the post because ESPNNEWS considered it breaking news on the bottom line ::facepalm::

I can't believe there's any room with the Vick/Favre updates.

Ain't that the truth. I have zero interest in football. Less than zero. I can not name all the teams in the NFL, and could probably only rattle off about ten players, tops. With all that said, I seem to know every last detail of this damn Brett Favre saga.

In the Washington Post today...

No conversation with Rizzo would be complete without a mention of Stephen Strasburg. The club has a month to sign the phenom-slash-top draft pick and Strasburg recently said he hadn't talked with the Nationals. Rizzo preaches calm.

"There are a lot of things that are happening behind the scenes that nobody is going to know about because we're not going to talk about it," said Rizzo, adding that the team will not be negotiating "through the media." "People in the front office, we know what Stephen Strasburg means to our major league ballclub."
