Also, I don't do this often, this is probably the 3rd time since I have been part of the board. But I sent an e-mail to my friend that works in the Nats FO(He's no one of note, fairly low on the ladder, but in the FO operations non the less) and his response to my question about Lee was " believe the hype, they are really trying to land Lee". This doesn't mean they will sign him by any means, but their interest is real and not just kicking the tires IMO. Take it how you want
And he wouldn't respond to my Willingham to Boston theory
