With this deal.....the #Nationals MLB Tax payroll (per Cots Baseball Contracts) will be around $200.7M with arbitration estimates. Gives them ~$5M left to spend.

As a 3rd time offender, if Bryce Harper re-signs with them at a $35M AAV......it would end up costing them ~$50M/yr https://t.co/TIyo2XWIVi
