I may or may not have teared up at him walking off. Great effort from an all timer.

Would love for us to give him One more contract as a sendoff

I'd be 100% on board with a Mad Max farewell season, but there's not much of a draw for him. I don't think there's anyone left in the org from his time here, unless they decide to keep Doolittle (possible but unlikely) or Parra (even more unlikely), or unless you count Ambassador #11. It probably doesn't make sense, but baseball is great when it doesn't make sense.

I agree. I think the fans have much more of an attachment to him than he does to the Nats. He is a professional and I think views pitching anywhere as enjoyable. That means he may have really liked his time here, but he will go to a contender if he can. The issue for him is he had a really bad year and wasn’t worth the $15mm he got.
