After laying out three different explanations for Boras'
statement, the article ends with this: "My vote: Boras knew this
would get out and he's just messing around."

Ive never been accused of making up rumors here.

I can't imagine a scenario where this makes sense - it's either
BS or Boras is trolling the media. If he'd agreed to an
extension with the Nats why not just announce it?

According to Chelsea Janes, Nats reporter, on Twitter it was a
joke by Boras.

That's pretty much what the article says.

I don't think it is legitimate. But my understanding is that
the MLB strongly requests that no deals be announced during the
World Series. They don't want to share the spotlight or
publicity.

Yeah, but stuff leaks all the time, and this would be huge.
Besides - I don't think Harper is going back to D.C. at all,
but certainly not before he seriously tests the market.

This wasn't a leak though. It was Boras in a radio interview.
It's pretty hard to believe he didn't know exactly what he was
doing.
