The Washington Nationals reportedly made the biggest splash of the offseason to date Tuesday, but they may not be done yet.

Despite apparently inking star left-hander Patrick Corbin to a six-year, $140-million contract, a reunion with outfielder Bryce Harper has not been ruled out as long as the deal is structured to the team's liking, Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY Sports reports.

Harper, drafted first overall by the Nationals in 2010, has spent the entirety of his seven-year career in Washington. The six-time All-Star reportedly rejected a 10-year extension worth around $300 million from the club before the regular season ended.

The 26-year-old has been linked to a number of suitors this offseason including the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, and others.
