According to Washington Post writer Dave Sheinin's Nationals Journal post entitled, "Nats were 'in it to the end' with Chapman", the Washington Nationals offered Aroldis Chapman more than $20 million dollars because DC GM Mike Rizzo liked what he saw from the 22-year-old left-hander: "'We had a private workout with him. [General manager] Mike [Rizzo] liked him as much as any young lefthander he's ever seen,' said Kasten." If Rizzo liked Chapman that much should the Nationals have gone as high as $30M?
