Reading Material: (Links Courtesy MLBTraderumors.com's Nate Boyle's post entitled, "Stephen Strasburg Rumors: Sunday"):
"Tick, tick, tick… by midnight on Monday, the Washington Nationals will have either gotten San Diego State pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg under contract, or not."
• Baseball - Newsday - Ken Davidoff - "Sunday reading: Umpires, David Wright and Stephen Strasburg".
"My hunch is that the two sides will find common ground. But that's all it is: A hunch. Understandably, both sides are very carefully protecting the figure to which they'll actually agree."
