WASHINGTON (AP) – A person familiar with the agreement says Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals have come to terms on a $7.5 million, two-year contract, avoiding a grievance hearing.
Harper gets a $2.5 million salary in 2015, and $5 million in 2016.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal had not been announced.
Harper, the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year, had been scheduled to have a $1 million salary in 2015, along with the chance to earn up to $500,000 in roster bonuses. But the Major League Baseball Players Association filed a grievance on his behalf over whether he could void the final season of the $9.9 million, five-year contract he signed when he was drafted.
