I don't think the odds are as long as most say.
Ted Lerner is a 92 year old billionaire. What the hell does he care if he gives Harper $50 million more than he should? He's not gonna live to spend it.
Ultimately Harper may leave some money on the table to go to his childhood favorite Yankees or play with his Vegas buddy Bryant (I'm pretty sure it was Bryant), but I don't think the Nationals will simply get outbid.
And Harpers ties to Washington are awfully strong. In fact, before the emergence of Soto, I'd have given the odds as being more likely than not that he stays. Now I guess it's possible that Lerner could decide that an OF of Eaton, Robles and Soto is fine and that money should be reallocated to pitching or something.
