ccording to a Nationals Journal post by Washington Post writer Thomas Boswell en led, "Nats Offer Strasburg Record-Setting Contract", the Washington Nationals, "...have offered No. 1 overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg the largest contract ever for a pitcher taken in the amateur draft." Mr. Boswell's citing "industry sources" in the article, wherein he writes that the "...offer has been on table for some time," and could be worth as much as, "$14-$16 million, a third to a half higher than the current benchmark contract," the $10.5 million Mark Prior received from the Chicago Cubs back in 2001.
