Turner avoids arbitration; Rendon decision TBA

WASHINGTON -- With details still streaming in following Friday's 1 p.m. ET deadline to exchange arbitration figures, the Nationals already settled with two of their arbitration-eligible candidates, agreeing to one-year deals with shortstop Trea Turner and right-hander Joe Ross. Turner will get $3.725 million for the 2019 season and Ross will receive $1 million, according to the Athletic.

Turner was in his first year of being arbitration-eligible after qualifying for Super Two status by just two service days, which granted him a fourth year of arbitration eligibility. He played in all 162 games last season and was worth 4.
