It's not even a discussion, you take him, and you pay him whatever Boras wants. This guy is already better (by FAR) than any pitcher the Nationals have on their roster. He's as good as Cole Hamels right now, with a much higher ceiling.

It should not be understated how good this dude is. He could one day be the best pitcher baseball has EVER seen. At worst, he develops into Johan Santana. If you pass him up you're a fool.

Cost is not an issue. Besides, if it turns out you can't financially afford him, then trade him for an absurd number of prospects/players. The guy represents a chance to change the fortunes of the frachise.
