The Washington Nationals did it in cliffhanger fashion






As the eleventh hour for the signing of the overall top draftee Stephen Strasburg approaches, the Washington Nationals had just managed it at the buzzer. With a $15 Million contract signed (which was way below the projections after the draft) by agent Scott Boras' client, the drama is over. At least if we're not looking at the National's slate nor watching a YouTube moment of some National big leaguer guy seeing a mirage in between bases.

Although the team's acting manager Mike Rizzo has said that Strasburg is unlikely to pitch this season, it may at least build a high measure of anticipation for Washington's ticket market for the rookie's first appearance.
