Brian is reporting Nat's have signed Cole and Solis! Really pleased with Cole, thought he was definitely set for Miami. If we get Haper and Ray this is a great draft. Next is Dunn,

Jim Callis, Baseball America, wrote late last night that we had agreed to terms with Solis and Cole.

No confirmation, or denial, or out the Nats?

Ink may not be on the paper yet, but Callis isn't usually one to 'jump the gun' regarding imminent signings. More likely that both Cole & Solis have both agreed to terms, but are still clearing up some final small print questions.
It would be a victory to get both of these kids under contract, and if Rizzo can add Harper & maybe Ray by Monday night, it would be an absolute coup for the Nationals going forward.
Anticipating good news on Tuesday.
