The MLB Network, Baseball America's Aaron Fitt and ESPN are reporting that first overall pick Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a 4 year $15.67 million deal.
Talks between Strasburg and Washington went to the wire and many were unsure whether or not a deal would get done. The rookie is viewed as a future ace of the club and not signing him was going to be a major blow to the Nationals franchise.
This is the largest contract ever signed by a draft pick since the Cubs signed Mark Prior for $10.5 million in 2001.
