The Nationals appear to be moving towards signing Stephen Strasburg, but they refuse to do so through the media. "There are a lot of things that are happening behind the scenes that nobody is going to know about because we're not going to talk about it," said acting general manager Mike Rizzo. "People in the front office, we know what Stephen Strasburg means to our major league ballclub." Washington has roughly a month to sign the first overall pick from last month's draft.
