<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->According to SI.com's Jon Heyman, the Nationals' offer to top pick Stephen Strasburg is worth $12.5 million.
It's more than the record $10.5 million bonus tendered to Mark Prior back in 2001, but won't appease Strasburg's advisor, Scott Boras. The Nationals might have to close in on $20 million territory to get a deal done and have just about nine hours left. The deadline to sign picks is Monday at midnight.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So this fucker gets offered a record deal, and still probably won't sign. I hope his arm falls off before he even throws a pitch. I know Boras is known as the big villain in most of these situations, but these players have the power to decide. Fuck him.
