CARLSBAD Miles Mikolas Jersey , Calif. (AP) ¡ª The Washington Nationals made an offer to Bryce Harper late in the season in an attempt to reach a deal before he became a free agent.Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo disclosed the talks with agent Scott Boras at the general managers¡¯ meetings on Tuesday.¡°We¡¯ve had conversations and we utilized our exclusivity to negotiate with him late in the season through when he became eligible to sign with a team,¡± Rizzo said. ¡°We didn¡¯t get anything done, but he¡¯s a guy that is near and dear to us and we are not closing any doors.¡±Harper, who turned 26 last month, is expected to receive the largest contract among the 164 free agents. He is a six-time All-Star with 184 homers http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-
jersey , 521 RBIs and a .900 OPS.¡°He¡¯s shown the type of player he is and now he¡¯s a grizzled veteran,¡± Rizzo said. ¡°He has done a lot in the game already, and he is just scratching the surface.¡±Harper was dressed in his full Nats uniform more than 3½ hours before the team¡¯s final home game in September and was unsure of his future.¡°I can¡¯t really stand here and say it¡¯s going to be ¡®farewell¡¯ or anything like that, because nobody knows. Nobody knows what this offseason holds,¡± he said.Boras is known for extending talks with his free agents past the holiday break. His clients include Nationals pitchers Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg Jason Motte Jersey , and former Nats outfielder Jayson Werth.¡°It¡¯s going to be a challenge to put the best product on the field, and that could include Harper and it could be doing things without Harper,¡± Rizzo said. ¡°There is a reality that we would love to sign him, but we may not. We have to have a strategy and plan put together to win baseball games, not only for 2019 but beyond. I think we have a good strategy in place http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-
